Theres probably something wrong with the cable wire, or the firewall is turned on and a very strict Network security program was installed.

Another answer is the traffic. There may be to much network traffic that the packets sent might be preempted in the process.

Firewalls prevent pings sometimes, especially Windows Firewall.

Are they on the same switch or different switch?

Is there a router / firewall / bridge between the switches?

Are you sure it's a switch and not a hub?

Please note that to get a reply for a ping, data needs to move in BOTH directions. If you don't get a REPLY to your ping, several things may be wrong:* The ping doesn't reach the destination computer

* The destination computer is set up to ignore pings

* The ping-reply from the destination can't get back to you

Causes for the first and third point may include problems with the physical connection, problems with the default gateway on the computers, routing problems, rules such as ACLs that block specific types of messages.
