It is reported as a "SYN Flood" attack. ZyXEL ADSL routers were always sold as the firewall blocks SYN flood, so presumably they either don't or the attacker tweaked it. You should upgrade to the latest supported firmware anyway. However it isn't clear if this will help in this case. Disabling unnecessary external services is reported to help. Without more details it is hard to give more advice. Really some DoS attacks best dealt with when they happen, if you can't have downtime, then have redundant links with different kit or some such scheme, otherwise upgrade everything and wait for bad stuff to happen. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
