I believe it is working now. What was missing is the IP address on the WAN Gateway!
I went to the admin ui
System→Gateways→ Configuration→clicked on the edit button on WAN_GW
The "IP Address" section was empty. Yikes.
I entered the IP address of my ISP router as the gateway and voila - seems to work now.
Likely cause of this IP being empty : I installed Opnsense initially with bad ether cables - so i wasnt getting any upstream IP and it is possible that gateway IP was not detected.
