How to upgrade my Firewall to reconnect to steam?

I learned in troubleshooting and the steam that I need to update my firewall whenever Steam updates.  The error message I get from steam is that I can not connect to the Steam network and I go to www.steampowered.com for more information.

Well, I went there, and he told me to update my firewall, ergo, I'm here.

What should I do now? All I want to do is play Civilization V.

Sincerely yours always,

Indy.

If your firewall is not allowing you to connect to the steam network, then all you have to do is add steam to the exceptions list. Go to start > Control Panel > system and security > allow a program through windows firewall.

You should get a screen like this

Then just find the steam and make sure the checkbox is checked, and then let it through your firewall. If it is already done, you might have an antivirus firewall preventing, in which case you will need to find for antivirus firewall settings and allow it there.

It should work, if it is not, answer and we will understand why it is not.
