This can most definitely be due to firewalling outgoing connections. For
debugging purposes open port-range 27000-27050 for outgoing UDP and TCP
traffic.
In your firewall log you will be able to see which ports are used for
updating (also for connecting to the steam master-servers etc!!), so
then you will be able to specify the needed ports more precisely.
