Any other ideas to try to figure this out?

What does traceroute say? Is there more than one router on your network?
Does one of the computers have more than one network interface? Are
there any wireless devices on the network? Could you eliminate the
switch by using a crossover cable for the purposes of testing? What sort
of networking topology do you have?

An initial guess for a multiple router network is that there is more
than one gateway at some point on the network, and no default gateway is
configured, and ICMP route discovery messages are being dropped or ignored at
some point on the network, or maybe there is a connection break or
unexpected connection between two of the routers. You haven't got cable
crossing the ports of the switch have you?
