Of course!  That's what firewalls do.  Until you configure them
otherwise, most block everything incoming by default, and are less
restrictive outgoing.  Your outgoing ping works with the firewall
enabled because the connection was initiated by the stateful firewalled
PC, and the firewall maintains a connections table.  But incoming
traffic like your ping from the other PC across the bridge is blocked
by the firewall.

Being 99% certain can often lead to misleading diagnosis.
