Yes, the personal firewall. And that's why the Network Magic utility worked.
It was disabling both software firewalls. It didn't occur to me that it was
the firewall because I had it set to prompt and it never prompted. Instead
it just blocked communication, apparently thinking it was too risky to let
the user decide whether or not to block it.
