URL: /pipermail/general_brlug.net/attachments/20040901/29ffd04c/attachment.htm From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Sep 1 10:25:31 2004 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (James Kuhns) Date: Wed Sep 1 10:25:34 2004 Subject: [brlug-general] Curious Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I had to connect my cable modem directly to the internet port on my Netgear router. Before it went to a Smoothwall box and then to the router. The Smoothie box is dying and I won't be able to get parts until this weekend so I figured I'd just use the hardware firewall in the router for now. After making the change I noticed I was having to bounce the cable modem 3 or 4 times a day. This morning I bounced it when I got up and launched the router status that shows the transfer stats. After keeping an eye on the stats for about 15 minutes (with a basically idle network) it had already received over 100K packets (with bursts where it got over 15K in about 6 secs). I also noticed the activity light on the modem was not blinking very much at times (it's basically on steady) I'm assuming these packets are coming from idiots scanning machines on Cox' net and I never noticed them before because Smoothwall/Snort/Guardian would drop the packet, block the idiot and add one log entry. There's no way to get this router to drop the packet (it wants to reply for some reason). I'm thinking that since the router is now replying, the idiots know there is something there and keep probing - with no logs I can't even tell where they're coming from. I'm thinking that the times I've had to bounce is when the bursts have gotten really bad and the modem locked up. Anyway, what I'm curious about is: 1) could receive rates like this lock up a cable modem?, 2) is this normal on Cox's net? (I know they've always had people scanning but has it gotten this bad lately) and 3) am I way off base on this and it's actually a hardware issue on my end or a coincidence and something is going on with Cox' net right now (with no logs I can't tell exactly what's going on). Anyone have any ideas? Hopefully this will be a non-issue after the Smoothie box goes back up this weekend. James
