Alright folks I've encountered this for three weeks now, and no solid answer has come over the horizon.
Before you ask anything let me list off the following,
-This is a steam community issue
-I have Windows Vista x64
-I've redone my router twice now
-I've scanned for malware, trojans countless times.
-I've redone the proxy servers to match steam qualifications about eight...maybe ten times.
-I can access steam community through hidemyass.com
-I've checked with Steam Support. No go...
-I've defragged my computer almost everyday.
-Before this problem came along I tried to log into steam community(when it was working) ,and it was insta refresh to the steam community page again.
Alright lads. Can anyone tell me what I gotta do?
If 102 is a page error, i found out that it means [b]ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED[/b]
Odd. Any reason it would be blocked you think?
Tried using a proxy?

[url=http://www.proxy.org]Other proxies[/url]
Yeah it works through those.
This is the error I'm getting by the way.
[B]Unable to connect to server. Server may be offline or you may not connected to the internet.-102[/B]
Unable to connect to server. Server may be offline or you may not connected to the internet.
maybe something weird in your host file
you can find your hostfile at something like c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/ and edit the file called 'host'. If there's stuff added at the bottom, after the commented lines, post it here or clean it up yourself if you know how.
or maybe it's your weird internet guard of your virusscanner or maybe a firewall. Disable every firewall and temporarily every option in your virusscanner with the words 'online', 'internet' and 'guard' in it.
127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.1 steamcommunity.com
Yeah...

Thank you guys. I finally found the problem after three weeks.
Dumb question, but why the fuck is that in there?
Basically it means the site was blocked by my host.

No it means someone was doing something stupid like trying to stop you getting on steam.

probably
maybe some friend ever sent you a joke that added steamcommunity.com to your hostfile or someone else at your house did it for fun

Uh. A good majority of the people at my house are pants on head retarded when it comes to computers ,and I rarely accept files.
Virus scanned yet?
Yeah... I do it daily.
I'm having the same problem, except I can't even connect to steam as it says "STEAM is having trouble connecting" and I can't get on the steam homepage other than thru a proxy.
Hosts:
# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost

That sounds like your ISP is blocking ports.
That's your Proxy Server most likely. Go check your IE8 settings with internet connection.
