This is claiming that the default firewall setup blocks ping and shows how to enable it. I've personally never seen this and have always been able to ping.
EDIT: With the firewall off, though, this doesn't seem to apply.
This post got me to thinking. I dug a bit deeper into the firewall. I found something that did the trick. I was checking the Firewall of the Windows and not that of the AV. Once I did some testing and search further into the AV, I found a way to allow pinging to take place.
With that said, I would like to thank all of you for coming to my rescue. Thank so much for all of your insight.
General rule of thumb... don't use AV firewall. The OS has an excellent, straightforward, easy to manage, well known, enterprise class firewall. Some random, unknown third party firewall is a bad idea.
Strong best practice: Never run two firewalls on your devices.
