I think it is properly configured. I've been using it for several
months. I tried turning it off and it didn't make a difference with
the problem.

Scratch that. After having the firewall off for a while, the
networking started working again. Then I turned the AVG firewall back
on and the network is still working. So now it seems back to normal -
thanks!

This is an indication that your firewall was misconfigured. It wasn't
passing ICMP packets. A good test for this situation is to ping the other
computers.
This situation is easily corrected if you are running the Windows firewall.
Finding the right spot to configure ZA is more tedious.
I know nothing of other vendor's firewalls.
