Hidden Firewalls?

I just installed the latest version of Ubuntu, and I am having trouble connecting some programs (for example Steam) to the internet.

Is there some program or setting that would be blocking these by default?

Are you using WINE?

Yes ma'am.

Hmmm. Why don't you try this?

Weird. Steam connects but lags horribly. Takes like 10 seconds to click anything. When I try to install something, it tells me the servers are too busy. (Lies)

Play on Linux is also failing. It freezes when I go to install something. Maybe that is a clue.
