Mick, I am having similar problems and this is where I have gone for help.
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/dialup/lansetup2_dup.htm
Much of the instructions led me to ping my connection as you did, and my
results are as yours for one connection.
1. I have swithed connection on my hub to a good known port to rule out the
hub.
2. I have swithed the cat5 cable to a known good cable.
3. The next step is to swap out the NIC to a known working NIC (from another
machine that is working). Have not done that yet.
After you rule out all hardware problems, then it will be software
(obviously).
I don't know, but seems that Windows has a limit to how many connections it
will support.
Look for that answer before you go to far.
