Route table problems

Hello Folks

Wondering if you can help with a little configuration issue?

This is the system config :

I have a PPro180 server running NT4.0 and 64MB RAM connected to a
Livingston PM2e-R. The WAN port is connected to a 56K Frame relay line.

NTserver on 204.50.3.1
PM2 on 204.50.3.2
PM2 WAN port (W1) on 207.107.201.70
Upstream gateway 207.107.201.69

I can get out to the internet just fine from either a dialup or the console
but nobdy can get in from the outside world. The ultimate firewall eh?

For example, if I dial up through another service provider and try to reach
www.redshift.bc.ca, no go. I can ping as far as my WAN port
(207.107.201.70) but no further, not even the ether port of the PM2
(204.50.3.2). From this I figure its a routing problem in the PM2. Heres
the route table from the PM2:

enola> show route

207.107.201.70 255.255.255.255

Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated!
