thanks guys, yep, no firewall..
it is working now.. i had to run off encryption for now.. not too
worrying since I limit access to my hw macs.
It did seem to be eth0 though.. as soon as I killed eth0 I could ping.
I chanced upon the solution late last night, but now reading this i see
WHY it happened.. Thanks!
