It’s me.

No problem, happy to help! Figured this might be the case, since I run into this situation a lot at work.
Are they Windows PCs? If so, Windows firewall blocks pings by default.
Not really sure what your use case is here, but from a security perspective (and speaking as a network engineer), I would highly suggest you run a firewall/router on a separate device.
