No. I can ping anywhere on the home lan. Sorry if that was not
clear.

I can ping any box inside the lan, including the router, but even then
it still sounds like a router setting since any other lan box can ping
out to internet with no problem. However I cannot find a router
setting that would do that. And I have no special setting in place
that I can find.
About DMZ, yes the router has the capability to send to a DMZ but it
is disabled.
my network is simple and looks like (hope this survivs mail encoding):
