you first need to know which ports do you need. It depends on the program you are using. Or probably enable upnp if available in the firewall.
Or setup your firewall as a socks server and set it in your program configuration.

Never used firestarter so can't be more specific about its configuration.

That should be easy then. Just look at the UI for port forwarding or something talking about services/servers. Btw you will need your internal IP address static going this route.
