a firewall may be blocking the tracert but letting the ping go through -

Both ping and tracert use ICMP messages. If you can ping a host but not get a tracert on it, one (or more) of the network nodes between the near end-host (your machine) and the far end-host does not respond to ICMP echo request messages. This is common behavior on the public Internet.
Here's a link on how both tracert and ping work:

WTF, i am sorry to use that kind of a language, but i am livid with myself right now, how lame of me to not try that before posting this question.
Yeah that was the reason, thanx.
