The NAS box 192.168.0.2 (ZEUS) is being pinged from the desktop.

C:\Users\Julian>ping -l 65500 192.168.0.3

Ping statistics for 192.168.0.3:
   Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
   Minimum = 3ms, Maximum = 4ms, Average = 3ms

Based on that and everything below, I'd suggest there is no packet loss..

So the network/LAN appears to be OK. The issue might then be the NAS not actually being able to supply the files - see Simons earlier reply, or some other issue, possibly with the virgin "super" hub thingy...

Unlikely to be the hub thingy, but you can eliminate that with a 2nd Gb Ethernet switch but given your situation that might be as tricky as connecting your Laptop directly to the NAS...
