Hi! I have a network with no natting and i would linke to develop a rule set for flood protection of some windows stations. Recently one station was flooded while it was powered off (for me this is a uncomprehensible situation / act).. My ISP added a filter against my station and I can't acces the internet on it now. The server is running kernel 2.4.22-10mdk with mandrake-<some.version> and iptables-1.2.8. I tried to replace it (the server) but due to unknown reasons, I failed three times. And I gave up. If someone has an ideea of how can I protect the server in this configuration against floods, I would be very happy to learn. iptraf also shows some arp traffic that I don't know what is and I don't know how to fiter it. Here is a sample: ARP request for 85.186.68.52 (63 bytes) from 000ed6bdc070 to ffffffffffff on eth1 ARP request for 83.103.129.16 (40 bytes) from 000ed6bdc070 to ffffffffffff on eth1 ARP request for 83.103.132.190 (63 bytes) from 000ed6bdc070 to ffffffffffff on eth1 ARP request for 83.103.128.51 (40 bytes) from 000ed6bdc070 to ffffffffffff on eth1 ARP request for 83.103.133.236 (1500 bytes) from 000ed6bdc070 to ffffffffffff on eth1 These are marked with red. Thank you! Sorin.
