Server list appearing very slowly or not at all

Same. I re-installed not so long ago, and the servers have been taking ages to appear, until now where they just don't show at all...
Edit: Actually they do appear, they just take ages!

The work around is this.
1. Click on server, set up your machine as a server with all the default options. Start the server.
2. Once its started stop it as quickly as possible to stop the mass unwashed trying to log on to your machine.
3. Click client and log on to the server of your choice.
Don't know why this works, but I have ATAG_Bliss to thank for this one, glad to pass it on. If this works for you post back and let me know.
Cheers,

Thanks to bokonomist!

I experienced this problem yesterday (9 Dec), no serversappearing in list. This persisted for serveral hours. I assumed steam was having problems.
