Cannot Contact The Steam Network Fixes. <3

I'm using the Steam UI Beta.

I cannot seem to log on, everytime it goes into the update phase it goes.
"Cannot contact the Steam Network, Please Try Again Later."

ANYONE ELSE having this issue?

If so.
I have FOUND fixes to it.
One which fixed it this morning when I had it.

Possible fix #1

* Optional: Go to Steam's root directory and rename file named 'ClientRegistry.blob' to 'ClientRegistry.old'
* Rightclick 'steam.exe' (it's in Steam's root directory), click 'properties' and into command line, write '-clearbeta' (without apostrophe).


Possible fix #2

* Go to Steam's root directory and rename file named 'ClientRegistry.blob' to 'ClientRegistry.old' (this way, you have its backup in case you need it later). Works for many people. <--- Worked for me.


Possible fix #3

1. Go to the properties of 'steam.exe'
2. Go to compatibility tab
3. Make sure the box "run this program as administrator" is enabled
4. Run steam


Possible fix #4

* Go to 'steampowered.com' and download fresh installator. Execute it and click 'repair' button.
* This might get you games deleted! Backup them - copy 'steamapps' directory from Steam's main root!


Possible fix #5 (bananasgomoo)

* Delete clientregistry.blob
* Start steam
* Click cancel immediately
* Start steam
* Click cancel immediately
* Start steam
* Let it update

I had this issue, and got told to do something with the steam file..but I didn't understand, so I just reinstalled steam But before you reinstall, I reccomend you to wait for other experienced people to help you
