Strange ping issue

First off, here's my network setup:
Linksys WRV54G wireless router 192.168.1.1
Frankenshark (my compy) static IP 192.168.1.2
Wife's compy 192.168.1.3
Kid's compys on DHCP in 192.168.1.100-112 range
I developed a strange ping issue on my main rig, Frankenshark. I don't know when the issues started, because it seems to be isolated to incoming connections. I can browse the network, ping other computers, use a networked printer, cruise the 'net.. you name it.
I first noticed there was an issue, when my daughter said she didn't have music anymore. Her computer plays music from my computer. What happened was sharing was now broken. I couldn't get her computer to reshare. I couldn't browse my Frankenshark computer. I couldn't even ping it!
Of course I can ping the router FROM Frankenshark, but my router cannot ping my Frankenshark back.
I went through my NIC's settings and I don't see anything squirrelly. I went through all the firewall settings in Windows and they all seem to match my correctly working computers, even ICMP.
Right now I'm checking out the NIC (D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit) to see if the NIC card's settings are correct.
Any ideas?

more likely though, it's a software problem. Do you have any antivirus/security/whatnot on Frankenbox?
I'm getting a good, consistent 1Gig connection. Onboard diagnostics and my cheapo LAN tester show good wiring.
I'm with you.. some goofy software thing. I'm running AVG free version 8.5 and Windows firewall. I disabled them both... still no dice. I've got 3 NICs in this thing. The onboard NICS (NVidia and Marvell) quit giving me Gig speeds so I popped in the D-Link Gig NIC. I might reconnect to one of the other NICs for kicks.
Sounds like the next logical step.
