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..
