Thank you Eric.
I have done so already and our setups are largely identical. Everything but
our Rules file is identical and none of the Ports he has opened are related
to Steam. I have tested this to be sure.
I have access to his machine and could forward along a dump file from his
machine as well.
The only real difference is that in an effort to troubleshoot the issue I
opened the ports recommended by Steam but he never had to do that. The main
difference between our setups is he is running version 4.4.17 and I am
running 4.4.26.1.
Thank you for your reply.
Jesse
