Hi Joshua,

I have two observations with similar symptoms:

1) When MTU on host's interface is less than 1500 it may cause packet  
loss for large packets with sky2 Ethernet driver. Hence web browsing  
fails while DHCP, ARP, ICMP, etc work normally.

2) My D-link router responds with garbage to ARP requests if it is  
asked for IPv6 and then immediately for IPv4 address, which is  
strangely enough is the case for my Ubuntu Gutsy guest, but not for my  
Ubuntu Hardy host.

Could you check the MTU sizes and get ARP traffic log with tcpdump?
