What exactly do you mean by "this" in the sentence "this just started 
last week"? Do you mean the very slow network connection? Or do you
mean the abundant amount of arp-requests? Or do you mean the DNS
requests?

Many times when troubleshooting a problem, you see start to make
traces at that time, having no base-line traces from a good
working situation. The amount of arp-packets might be perfectly
normal for this type of connection. Also the DNS-requests 
might have nothing to do with the problems you are experiencing
although they might indeed point to some other problem on this
PC.

Could you compare these traces to one that was made before you
started to experience problems?
