"/sbin/service iptables stop" solved it. linux firewall was blocking packets going back to xp. I cud see the Rx led blinking but not Tx led on fedora box. Surprisingly an application on FC2 "system-config-securitylevel" which can be used to enable/disable firewall was showing "firewall disabled" so I didn't suspect the firewall playing foul at first. Will play around with iptables now to see if can configure it and have ping working when iptables is running.
Thanks all.
