so yesterday i finished building my new gaming rig and had it all set up. everything was fine and dandy, except when i went to bed i noticed my phone was no longer able to use the wifi. i figured the internet was out and that i needed to go to sleep anyways.
so this morning i decide that i want to get steam set up and install some games to play so i can test out my new rig. i connect to the steam site on my browser just fine, but when i go to login on the client, it says "steam is having trouble connecting to the servers" and won't let me log in. so i hunt around, try all the fixes i've seen, restarted my router, updated everything, rebooted my computer. still won't work.
so i decide i might as well go and download firefox because 1) it was what i used on my old computer and i set up a sync for it and 2) i really don't like how much of a memory hog chrome is. but as it turns out, i can't connect to any domain hosted by mozilla unless i'm the only person connected to the router (which i can't do). i managed to download it off of cnet, but that does jack stuff because i can't install any extensions or themes and the update service can't run.
i really have no idea what's going on and it's frustrating because i just built this computer and i can't run games on it because they're all on steam, and i can't install the browser i want so i'm stuck with chrome.
has anyone had this issue before and can offer tips on how to fix it? i can't look on mozilla's support site for help because i can't access any mozilla sites.
EDIT: i can't connect to tumblr and i can't reach the site where i can download hamachi. this is really irritating.
