Alright something weird has been going on in the past few days, I've been a vitctim of Dos attacks.

Here is a log from my router:

[DOS Attack] : 1 [Teardrop] packets detected in last 20 seconds, source ip [88.115.245.32]

Anyone know why this is happening and what might be doing this?

I've considered emailing my ISP and changing my IP address. The only forum I visit is this one so not sure why this is happening to me!
 
Doubt its a DOS attack targetted at you, router DOS detection is fairly strict and easily tripped, its probably just some random bot scanning PCs for open ports and other weaknesses or the person who had that IP last was connected to a lot of torrents and they are still clearing connections, etc.

Right that makes sense. I am constantly downloading torrents so that is probably it. Just thought it was weird when I checked my router log :p

Any tips to prevent this? I only have the standard Windows firewall.
 
Alright can anyone give me advice on what to do? it's really annoying now. I'm being disconnected every hour, can barely download anything and browse sites. I've emailed my ISP and they have changed my IP address. Is there anything else I can do? I'm using Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials. My brother uses a laptop, could that have anything to do with it?

I've barely been able to do anything today, the internet speed drops every 2-3 minutes. I have to click "refresh" in the wireless network tray to make the internet do anything. I've restarted the router several times. I have no idea what could be causing this, it's extremely frustrating. Hope someone can help
 
Alright I'll do that now then. I've scanned my computer with a few spyware/virus/malware programs and I've not got any viruses.

I download torrents a lot and I've never had this problem before, I haven't changed any settings on utorrent or my router so I can't understand why my internet is messing up like this :(

Any idea what could be wrong mate?
 
Yeah it did a few times about a hour ago. I click a webpage, part of it loads, then it stops. I then click the little refresh icon when I click the wireless tray icon and the rest of the web page loads. Then it just hangs there and I have to wait a minute for the internet to come back or restart my router. When I have utorrent open my torrent speeds go up and down a lot (from 550kb to 30kb)
 
How I do that? I've gone into firewall rules on my netgear router and there's nothing there. Is there anything else I need to do mate?
 
Alright then, I've disabled a few things on my router and my internet seems to be more stable now but I'll have to wait and see if it's like this tomorrow. Cheers for the help though mate and yeah I'll contact my ISP if this continues :p
