Computer is acting up

[Harlan]

I'm not sure why, but every time I try to play DOD:S, CS:S, or World of Tanks... it doesn't allow me to play. For DOD:S, and CS:S it tells me that the Steam servers are too busy to handle my request. So..... I uninstalled and now it's paused both games at 7% for downloading and won't allow me to resume. World of Tanks is not allowing me to patch the game for some reason too! On top of that... If I try to log in to yahoo messenger, or aim, it says that the servers are too busy. So... I don't know if this is a computer problem or internet problem. Any suggestions?

My first, thought was that the steam servers have all been updated. but since you say yahoo and world of tanks have stopped working i would have to say it isnt that

Question: have you updated or added any new programs within the last day or 2 to your system?

Question: have you changed any system settings?

if no, then its your ISP or for some reason one or more ports need to be reopened on your router.

did you suffer a router reset?

I am about to try it... Unfortunately... Since I have 3 room mates, I can't do it randomly because they will get pissed off lol. So hopefully it will fix all my problems! Because I haven't added anything to my computer.

Sounds like the router is going out. What is the make and model of it?

Also, have tried a ping or traceroute? We need to see if you are losing packets, and where.
