Not causing any hassle, just don't like to see people left with any confusion.

In my professional opinion......there is little/nothing to be gained from chasing down the DOS attack (or the remote access line, although that's the one I'd be more concerned about of the two).

You will gain most value from your time by investing it in ensuring that your external network defences are as robustly configured as they can be, and then ensuring that the security providing/enhancing features of any software installed on the inside of your LAN are configured and maintained correctly.

If the 'DOS' attack persists, and your connection is severely degraded as a result, THEN it might be worth taking the matter further.
