Yes, understand. Now that I have changed ISPs, and, given present day
tech, I am leaning to trusting my ISP to provide whatever upstream
protection they may. So, I am willing to tweak my router back from as
locked down as I believe I have been using it(?).............
My DNS set to receive automatically from ISP. FWIW.
I did this, I think, per my ISPs suggestion. Odd. The router immediately
grabbed a pair of DNS servers from ATT; one in San Francisco, and, one
in Washington, D.C.
Perhaps a lot of sniffing going on. As long as they do not get thru.
Nothing getting thru; well, as I read the log! Just router blocked
requests from one of local ISP's servers. All [info] entries only. But,
they fill up my routers log file. If I had a 'simple' window in the
router's f/w to just BLOCK this server, I would. Have not found this
feature yet!
Also when I had the FTP server running I was shocked at the attempts to log in
anonymously. ( which I turned off)
I am afraid I have not clue. I do not set dns settings in the router,
No. That is helpful. I have changed my router's DNS settings per ISP
suggestion. Still no help! The GAME continues... :)
No plans to change ISP. FIOS is just way too nice!

Sorry not much help.
u asked about the Netgear switch, GS105 (5 port)
Bought a sheathing kit, not worth it, hard to do. Got one on.
Tried to fire up the customer build with ddr2 out of the Dell from hell, 1
long, 3 short beeps. Assuming memory. mb supports ddr2 800, dell crap is 400.
Waiting for more parts. :'(
too much spare time we have Jedi

At 10:27 AM 11/12/2010, DSinc Poked the stick with:
I have a new ISP (epbfi.com?). They have their own DNS servers:
66.18.32.2 (p)
66.18.32.3 (s)
My router is a DLink DGL4500; so I set it to point to the ISP's DNS servers.
I am trying to figure out why my router is being hammered by another server of
my ISP. I say hammered because my router's log file fills up with [info]
listings of blocked requests from another ISP server to my assigned IP addy.
The server is:
host-68-169-188-189.mapoltl.epb.com
Yes, I could just deselect [info] objects from my router's log file.
I've spoken to the tech support staff. They tell me I am getting "reverse DNS routing"
stuff. I was told to remove my router's dedicated DNS assigns and set my router to
"dynamic." I think I have done this. Now my router shows the following up-stream ATT DNS
servers:
204.194.234.200 (p)
204.194.232.200 (s)
Little help. I am still hammered by a local ISP server. It looks like it is
scanning every port of the router's SPI Firewall. Very strange new game for me!
If I could find the "Block This IP Addy" part of my router's f/w, I would just
block this server's addy. I have not found this feature yet......... :)
Suggestions, opinions, knowledge welcome!
Best,
Duncan
