can't connect to steambeat1:27013 CSER server!

I'm getting the following error when starting my tf2 server:

Code:

Using 'steambeta1:27013' CSER server!
Could not establish connection to Steam servers.

this only started today after i updated tf2 about 2 hours ago.

my firewall has not changed, it has 27000><27050 (inclusive) open

any ideas? i found some vague but useless hints googling around about some 26xxx ranged port but find it hard to believe that it would crop up NOW...

any ideas?

the problem went away on it's own so i'm guessing it was something on the steam side.
