Is Ubuntu using some sort of firewall preventing/rejecting/dropping pings over the local network? :-? > I would like to share files between these two systems.

Yes, for sharing files it is easier to open nautilus and open an "sftp" connection: sftp://ip_of_the_computer_you_want_to_access Then you put the username/password credentials of the user you are accessing to.
