Using a hub that runs with ports at half-duplex and a having a PC with a port set at full-duplex *will* cause packet loss. A PC configured to full-duplex has collision detection disabled, so if a collision does occur, the PC will not know about it and not retransmit the lost frame. This used to be a common problem but is increasingly rarely seen in the wild (because of auth-negotiate being the default on switches, and gigabit NICs which are recommended to be configrued as auto).

Martin, I assumed someone using a true hub would know that hosts connected to it should be configured to use half duplex and not suffer from duplex mismatches.
