To put a finer point on it-it can't be the cabling. If you can repeatedly successfully ping in one direction, you are still getting a successful two-way communication, meaning the transmit/receive pairs on the cabling throughout the path are working properly. It might possibly be a switch issue, but I would consider that a very low probability on a managed switch (you'd have to have acl filters on a managed switch that specifically blocked this communication) and close to impossible on an unmanaged switch (unless it's crashing- in which case, reboot it. )
