I use a firewall which allows a block of DoS IPs from any to any also
can close ports easily. Plus, if you log, you can then monitor the further
attempts

For now, yank the plug on your DSL so you're off the internet. Switch to
dialup if you can, and then close as many ports as you can. Change your root
password. This is *very* general advice; since you haven't given much in the
way of details I can't give specific help.

Unfortunately anything you do at the local end will not prevent bandwidth
from being consumed on your link.  Once it hits your local firewall to be
dropped the traffic has already consumed bandwidth on your link. 

This may or may not be a concern.  If the DOS is consuming a great deal of
bandwidth than it probably is a concern and you may try contacting the
abuse@ or other support addresses at your ISP and ask if they can filter
this traffic before it hits your link.

If you do want to consider a local firewall (which is a very good idea
indeed) you may consider using a FreeBSD box in bridging mode between the
DSL link and the local LAN.  This FreeBSD box can do layer 3 (IP)
filtering in bridging (layer 2 forwarding) mode.

   If you have a dynamic IP address, you may get by power cycling your DSL
modem so you come up with another IP address. It's a cheap shot, but may
buy you some time online while you batten up the hatches.
