That next to last line is not 100% packet loss.  It is a router who ignores the ICMP ECHO packet.  If it was really 100% packet loss, you could not play in any arena.  You could not post to this bulletin board.  You could not send us email.

The arena was reset on Friday.

If it is only the one arena, then it usually is caused by some type of anti-xxxx software installed on the computer interfering with the arena data.  Norton, McAfee, and Avast are all pretty bad about this.

Or there is port blocking issue.

All the arenas are on the same network here.  Same routes.
