I am not pinging it directly. 192.168.0.2 is unsuccessfully pinging 192.168.0.3 or vice versa. Firewall log reports: blocked 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.255 or 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.255 blocked.

It's wired XP and wireless Vista. Network is designated Home.
Take the software firewalls out of the equation and all is well which kind of points to the hub as an innocent party but I had the same set-up using a wrt54g2 and then the ordinary hub and it was perfectly stable.
