If Sygate is configured correctly, yes. Try doing all the scans at
scan.sygate.com. If you have no open ports with Sygate running and DMZ
enabled, you should be fine. If you really, really want to do a good
job, check out Nmap at www.insecure.org. There's an online version
(slow, but works), or you can download the real thing and run Nmap
from a second machine to check.

Still, I recommend deactivating DMZ when you are not playing the game.
