Hello Terry, (nice last name)
We did have the same problem. The System Administrator
indicated that it was his PC and he did not find any problem.
Then about a day later, a Network Administrator found a virus on that
PC.
One group was not worried about it (PC people), but the Network people
were worried as network
performance was taking a hit.
Finally, we did get DOS from a Network system that was checking
for unused IP addresses. The system would go out every 4 hours had ping
50-100 times to determine what addresses were really being used.
They adjusted it down to 2 every 5 hours for the next couple of
days.

Subject: TCPIP
Hi
I re-cycled my TCPIP stack and noticed the following message while it
was coming up:
DTCNET400W A denial-of-service attack has been detected; issue NETSTAT
DOS for more information.
The output from the NETSTAT DOS command was:
netstat dos
VM TCP/IP Netstat Level 530
Maximum Number of Half Open Connections: 258
Denial of service attacks:
Attacks Elapsed

Attack IP Address Detected Time

-------- --------------------------------------- --------- ---------
---------
Smurf-IC 10.17.2.5 210 0:04:46
0:04:45
Does anyone know what this means and if it is a real problem? It looks
like the ATTACKS number is rising quickly.
Thank You,
Terry Martin
