Is Ubuntu using some sort of firewall preventing/rejecting/dropping pings
over the local network? :-?

Yes, for sharing files it is easier to open nautilus and open an "sftp"
connection:
sftp://ip_of_the_computer_you_want_to_access
Then you put the username/password credentials of the user you are
accessing to. Easy, fast and secure.
