Re: DOS attack?

Yeah, I saw that post too; I was hoping someone on midrange.com could answer it. Makes it sound like a router problem, not an actual attack. Thanks Bill.

Hi Everyone,

I've got a Netgear router doing some logging and it's reporting tons of stuff like this:

[DOS attack: FIN Scan] attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [66.75.159.89], Friday, 08 Feb 2008 13:01:00
[DOS attack: FIN Scan] attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [77.73.32.120], Friday, 08 Feb 2008 13:00:37

You are not alone: http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?p=90868#post90868

No answer to the problem, though. Make sure you have the latest firmware installed.
