I'm a bit puzzled (again!) by your 10.116.xxx.xxx AND the 10.170.xxx.xxx addresses but it was exactly this same thing that made me ask the question in the first place. My router was also reporting DOS attacks from the IP address which is why I did a whois on it but which we've now established is in fact my modem's private address (and though I'm not at it right now, I'm pretty sure appeared second in a tracert report) ... Since I'm also having intermittent drop-outs and some speed problems, AND I've a Belkin wireless router, is there something that dave_tracey and I are missing here? Should the router's firewall apparently be blocking our modem in this way and is this causing a problem?
