You will need to log into your router and tell it to send all traffic coming in on the required port to forward packets to the PC. This is known as port forwarding but some routers call it virtual servers

Alternatively you could place your PC in the DMZ using the router settings again, but this will mean the PC wouldn't be protected by the firewall on the router and so would be more venerable to attacks

Have you set up your Linux router using iptables or an application?

I have never used Webmin to manage Firestarter but to set up port forwarding using the main program you need to use the "Forward service" section of the "Policy tab" as described in The policy page - Firestarter

The main idea here is to tell your firewall to forward any traffic that comes in on the port that your remote desktop software uses to the correct internal computer
