route static subnet through from wan

[mikersys]

ISP has routed a static subnet to dynamic (but permanent) wan IP

ISP GW - 208.9.1.1
MY WAN IP - 208.9.1.129

routed subnet - 75.100.8.144/28

have linux 2.4.20 and iptables on router,

interface - vlan1 - 208.9.1.129
interface - br0 - 75.100.8.145

routing table
75.100.8.144 - 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.240 - br0 - (lan)
208.9.1.0 - 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.0 - vlan1 - (wan)
127.0.0.0 - 0.0.0.0 - 255.0.0.0 - lo
default - 208.9.1.1 - 0.0.0.0 - vlan1 - (wan)

forwarding is enabled, iptables is empty with defaults of ACCEPT

hosts behind br0 are able to talk to the internet OK
The internet can ping router br0 interface 75.100.8.145 from the wan side.

Host 75.100.8.146 behind the router can reach the internet

The router can reach host 75.100.8.146 by ping and port 80
The internet can NOT reach host 75.100.8.146 from the wan side

what's wrong with this picture?
what is needed to make the subnet hosts visible to the internet?

stumped.....

Is forwarding turned on? If you have IPTABLES running with no rules then you can turn that off as it is doing nothing.
