THANK YOU TO EVERYONE. NOW IT WORK. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS BECAUSE
I USED THE WRONG COMMAND:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

and my internet connection is through pppo and not etho. So now I used the
following command:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE (without mentioning the interface)

and everything is OK (now I am writing from a PC of my LAN).

Best regards and thanks. Franco
