Sounds like a firewall issue to me. Assuming you didn't mess with any router settings, that is probably the case. Keep in mind, if you setup port forwarding / DMZ host for your old computers router assigned IP address (eg. 192.168.1.xx etc) you very likely received a new router IP when you hooked up the new computer, and will have to go back and reassign those to the new IP address. I'm not familiar with the ports steam uses, but add exceptions for it to your router, as well as windows firewall.
