I have never used Firestarter but this lists the ports that are currently open and not what the firewall is allowing/blocking. Firewalls, or iptables specifically, filters packets before they reach these ports. To see what ports are actually open from within your network or outside, I suggest using nmap from one computer outside your network. I'm sure some of us here won't mind probing your machine if you email us privately.
