Assuming your using the Internet Connection Sharing option on Firestarter you might find this page useful for making sure it`s set up correctly.

The one thing i used to forget on the internal machines when i used an Ubuntu box as our router were the DNS servers.
I was forever getting those damn crossover cables mixed up with my straight through`s too now that i think about it.
