Well..call the people responsible for the source IP, complain to them as
well.
www.onlinehome-server.com <http://www.onlinehome-server.com> is the
provider.
Customer u15194704 is the problem computer.
OR the victim.
If I remember the thread correctly, it's only when he puts a nameserver
at that address that he has problems. That's because the damage is being caused
by
the REPLIES he's making to that address. His upload BW is less than his download
BW. We have no guarantee that the packets are actually coming from that address
but could instead be spoofed, so that the victim is being swamped by replies
from Joe's friend and others..
(I may have misremembered the beginning of the thread however)
