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.

Ok Cheers Rob, I was never that interested in tracking down where it originated from but given the help from you guys on CF I thought maybe you were curious.
Current security comes via VM, as in the one that comes on the installation disc when you first enroll, and seems to be doing a good enough job so far.
On the router, SPI is enabled at present but has in the past been disabled, on my LAN side Ive assigned fixed IP's to the MAC address of each appliance I want to connect to, so I can turn off broadcast SSID.
It may sound like I have a clue what I,m doing but I dont really,
thanks for bottoming this one out
