Yeah, check the firewall settings. If you can Ping in one direction that line is good. If you can't ping in the other direction then something is blocking it, and most likely a firewall.
Also, agree with the idea of purchasing a hub. This will add a hardware firewall between the machines and the internet as well. Allows you to add additional machines at a latter time. And you can get a wireless router for about $50 at Walmart ($90 if you want 802.11N).
