He didn't post the ping from 192.168.0.8 and 192.168.0.2 to
the router, so I'm at a lost as to whether the firewall block is at
the router or his machine.

Thank you, everyone for your help.

Suddenly, with no intervention from me, my XP machine (on which I'm
typing this) is back on the network.

I don't recall doing anything to cause it to work again.

I had copied some stuff from the web to a spreadsheet, and wanted my
wife to manipulate it, as she is a spreadsheet fundi, and was about to
copy it to a flash drive when she said she could see my computer on
the network again, and so I copied it to the public directory on her
Win 8.1 laptop, and it worked.

I then set up my laptop and pinged it, with the result seen above.
