This is driving me crazy and hopefully someone here can help me.
I installed Skyrim via Steam on my lovely new Alienware laptop and have been happily playing at home with no problems.
However, my work takes place at remote locations (oil rigs) where often I can't connect my laptop to the Internet. I'm in one such location right now. Company policy is that not only are we not allowed to connect our personal laptops but we are very restricted as to the websites we can access via our work comoputers - thank goodness Hexus isn't one of the blocked sites!
Knowing that I wouldn't be able to connect my laptop I made sure before I left home that I could run Skyrim in offline mode. I simply disconnected from my wireless access point and started up Steam/Skyrim in offline mode no problem at all.
Here on the oil rig I have just tried to start up Steam. When I clicked on the 'Start In Offline Mode' I got the message 'Steam Error - could not connect to Steam Network' and could get no further.
I've tried Googling for a solution to the problem but all the sites that might have answers are blocked by my organisation. Can anyone help?? I'm stuck here for two weeks and would really like to be able to play Skyrim in my time off duty.
