    Hack Attack!!!!

    Now i've got your attention, basically i've got a Dg834g and in its log every day it says it has intercepted from 5-30 tcp packet DoS attacks.
    What is this about? who DoSs a router with 2 pcs behind it, is this likely or are they random?. The clustering of times would suggest they are purposeful but i certainly dont know.
    Thanx

    Random attacks - probably just some sautomated IP/port scanning software that a script kiddie is running. A nuisance but nothing to worry about. If you ever DO become the victim of a concerted DoS attack - you will know!

    I would tend to agree here. Possibly just a worm or script kiddy looking for something to hit.
