Control Panel -> Windoze Firewall -> Advanced -> ICMP
Make sure the box "Allow incoming echo requests" is chequed.

For networking to work, make sure that the:
Control Panel -> Windoze Firewall -> Exceptions
box "File and Print Sharing" is checked.

What I find odd is that there would be a difference between wired and
wireless connections. Under the Exceptions double click the "file and
print sharing" and select "change scope". The correct selection is
"my computer subnet only".

When you test the wired and wireless connections, do you disable the
wireless while testing the wired, and disable the wired while testing
the wireless? Two simulaneous paths between the clients and the
router will work, but only if Windoze has properly switched the
routeing table metrics (cost of each path). Check the routeing table
with:
route print
to see where the packets are going. Lowest number under "metric"
wins.
