My computer can ping the other two computers, but those computers cannot ping my computer. Why?

I have three computers all connected to a router. One of my computers can ping the other two, but those two cannot ping it back. What can I do to restore connectivity in both directions?
Please check the following on the computer which can not be pinged (if windows)
Control Panel -> Windows Security Center -> Windows Firewall -> Advanced -> ICMP Settings.
Check "Allow incoming echo request"

Ping is only needed when you’re diagnosing networking problems. Your don’t need to accept Pings if you can already see and get to shared files on the other two computers.
