I've recently had problems with my Superhub seemingly dropping packets.

BTW, ARP packets are LAN only and only occur when resolving an IP address to a MAC address on the LAN. They cannot be routed across the internet by definition and intermittent rules it out.

It also won't be anything to do with the routing table, because that either works or it doesn't, intermittent rules it out.

I resolved my issue by logging in to my Superhub and putting the troublemsome item's LAN IP in the DMZ. Suddenly everything worked again and no more dropped packets.

Give it a go.

My problems with dropped packets started about a week ago too so I'm guessing this will solve your problem.

On another note, why does the cursor disappear when I click elswhere in this edit in IE9? It would seem Cable Forum are incapable of supporting cursors. Total fail but not that surprising.
