To be fair, both systems could have something wrong with them. Given that the more straightforward causes are being eliminated more atypical reason have to be considered. Trying a recent Linux LiveCD of some sort to check on this possibility is one option. Some more ideas: 1. Maybe pings work because they are small packets. Maybe something is flaky in handling full size packets. Try specifying packet sizes to ping (ping -s). 2. Check stats on your network card with "ifconfig" to look for errored or dropped packets. If your home router has a status page with similar info check that as well.
