Strangely the NAS on 192.168.0.4 is not affected. Other wierdity is firewall auto-detects the network on 192.168.0.0 using the Superhub. Using other routers it is detected with the same IP as the gateway. Seems the Hub might have it's knickers in a twist.

192.168.0.255 will be your network's broadcast address. You shouldn't be pinging that directly (although broadcast ping is possible). What you might be seeing is netbios name lookups being blocked which will be broadcast.
With Windows 7, make sure you designate your network as "home" rather than public or work.
