Connecting through firewall?

I recently installed SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition on
a Windows XP Pro computer in a small business office
connected to the internet through DSL. Somewhere between
us and the rest of the internet is a firewall.

Any computer on our side of the firewall can, of course,
attach to the server fine. Any computer on the other side
cannot. I am trying to connect using the IP address I get
from WhatIsMyIP.com (we have a static IP).

I am connecting using ADO.NET, using a standard connection
string.

Where do I start to find out how to connect to it, short
of taking down the firewall (which we don't administer)?
And how do I set up permissions for people to log in?
