Yeah try repairing your connection. Go to Start, connect to, and then right click your Internet connection, and then select repair. That usually clears up a lot when you do it.

That's most likely the problem, however if you have a slower intarwebs there's a chance that this isn't the problem.
 
hows your Internet holding up? sometimes your ISP can be really slow for a while. is this a recent problem, or have u always had connection problems?

also do you have DSL or Cable internet?
 
the real question is, are you losing internet when this happens? if you leave am signed on does it get booted as well after dod:s crashes?
 
Umm, I may have misunderstood a couple things, but it sounds to me like steam is trying to update something. It could be a simple steam client update, in which case the only thing you can do is let it finish. (I don't think any steam client updates have been release lately unless you haven't been on in a while in which case you could be getting an old update).

The other issue might be that steam is automatically updating 1 or more of your games, or perhaps your Source SDK if you have it.

Every time I get problems like the one you're describing, it turns out Steam is the cause.



Also, when this happens, jump out of game and steam and see if you can use the internet for browsing web pages. If everything seems to be going at the normal speed once you exit steam, then it's probably safe to say steam is the problem.
 
yah i think its steam but this happens in consel every time i crash
NET_ReceivePacket: WSAENOTSOCK

and sometimes it shuts down and says i canot connect to the VAC servers or somthing so i cannot play on the server
 
i did a connection test on steam.com and it said everything passed exept for my video card could that be my probleme i cant see y a video card would cause a connecting probleme but im out of ideas... what do u guys think???
 
wow, the last time i got a WSAENOTSOCK error I was trying to use my IPX network to connect to WON to play CS v1.2. LOL thats old.
 
are you directly behind the cable modem or are you behind a router too? I have seen alot of linksys' that fall apart ofter a little while of use. This would be a stray guess though, i wish i could help more. I even searched for that error message everyplace but the steam forums. nada.
 
not sure is this is the solution but you should definitely go to the video option and lower all the resolutions as this will make things smoother, of course you give up some quality but as long as you can play.
