A DMZ or DeMiliterized Zone is something that has to be created on the firewall. If you want to setup a DMZ and only have one PC and one firewall, then it is pointless to have the firewall in the first place. If you are in a corporate environment and do not know how to access the firewall, then you should not be setting up your computer on a DMZ. If you have several PCs on your home network and can access your firewall, then you need to look at the documentation for your firewall and it will tell you how to configure a DMZ. It should be noted however that Steam currently does not support operation through a network DMZ. Quoting a steam tech support email: "If your machine is currently in a network DMZ, you will need to reconfigure your network to play through Steam."

Typically, Gaming needs Steam and the only inhibitor is not the outbound, but rather the failure to port forward

  • Steam-1 27000--27015
  • Steam-2 27020--27050

to the gaming system's ip address (obviously it must be a static LAN address)
