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.

Paul
