So I just got OSX 10.6 installed on my Mini 10, using Netbook Installer, no other software installed. Installed steam and tried to login. Received an error message saying steam couldn't connect to servers.

Tried uninstalling/reinstalling steam.

Now I have done some digging around and found that alot of people were having issues with peerguardian causing this, but I don't have peerguardian installed on my system. The interesting thing is when I go to the peerguardian website, it just displayed "It Works!" which leads me to believe that there is some kind of pre-installed software that is acting as a firewall preventing steam from connecting to the servers.

Any ideas?

Steam has been up and down recently due to their servers being hacked.

It doesn't seem to work for me either.

This is a security and apple client issue. If you check your email you'll note that you got a message saying "you're logging in from a new comp, enter this code, etc". The mac client just doesn't have a place to input that code.
At least that's the issue for me. I contacted steam support.

If you hit retry over and over it'll eventually work.
