I guess only packet capture could fully reveal this.
tcpdump + tcptrace (or wireshark) come handy.

Also do You have something like SmokePing running all the time?
Pinging _after_ the [possible] packet loss would give You nothing.
I, for one, have mtr -nox11 running if I want to see those events.
But it requires You to keep an eye on it, unless all You want is
just statistics.

Is this wired or wireless connection?
What's in the router logs?
