I don't really know, but it is likely that your firewall settings are not set properly to receive pings on one of your machines. There are several types ICMP messages that need to pass through the firewall for a ping to work. However it is unlikely that your ping problem is related to the other issues you are seeing.
Stay tuned, with the help of others on this list we should be able to figure things out!
