I've got a Netgear Router:
Hardware Version WGR614V9
Firmware Version V1.2.24_37.0.35(does not work with CD version below 2.0)
Looking at the log, I get heaps of "DoS attacks: Storm" from my own external IP address.
There's never any slowdown or detrimental affect on my network that I can notice.
Question is, is this a Netgear bug, or should I worry about it, considering that said "attacks" are always originating from my own IP address.
Googeling didn't really help, hence this post.

Re: DoS attack: STORM
Does N300 - WNR2000v2 - Dos Attack: STORM - problem? - NETGEAR Forums shed any light?
(Did you Google for 'dos attack' or 'dos attackS' ?)

Re: DoS attack: STORM
Thanks Leif, but, all those attacks in that thread are from internal IP addresses, 192.168 etc. Mine are apparently from my external IP address...
Cheers, Claude.
