Thanks, Pedro. Regarding the need of port forwarding, I have: External port Interface Virtual IP Protocol Port 4662 PPPoE 192.168.1.2 TCP 4662 4665 PPPoE 192.168.1.2 UDP 4665 4672 PPPoE 192.168.1.2 UDP 4672 My firewall configuration is ACCEPT net $FW tcp 4662 ACCEPT net $FW udp 4672,4665,4662 I cannot see what is wrong.
