And you're sure you router doesn't have a built in firewall? Or if you are running on a shared network that the ports. Otherwise you could just add forwards in the firewall, see Valve's guide here: support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8571-GLVN-8711

@Holger — I've not had problems accessing servers through my router firewall; Steam seems to be quite tolerant to NAT. The problem with Windows Firewall is that it can block entire apps, irrespective of the ports being used.

@BenBlank Yeah NAT alleviates most of the problems with connections, but I still think that connections coming from the internet can be blocked or not translated to your local IP. Eg portfowards could be needed.
