SYN Flooding help

[dmcowen674]

Two IP addresses are SYN Flooding my connection

216.151.100.119

and

216.151.100.119

I've tried Whois to see who they are but no luck. Anyone have any idea how I stop these sites from trying to hack me and shut me down? A SYN Flood is almost as bad as a DoS attack.

Um, both of those IP's are the same and they resolve to:

#host 216.151.100.119
119.100.151.216.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer subscriber.anandtech.com

Whatever it is, it's probably not a syn flood and you're the one causing it by logging into the forums.

For the times when u do get a real one, get a firewall appliance that blocks them. I believe even some of the soho ROUTERSD WITH spi BLOCK THEM LIKE THE smc 7004FW.

This is the Router I have. So why is the Forums driving the Router nuts all of a sudden???
