DoS in firewall log

Recently my firewall log on my Belkin 54g router has recently been showing a lot of DoS

This is over a timespan of about 5 minutes. I believe this may be the cause of my internet slowing down sometimes then speeding back up.

On the face of it, that's not all that high, but I'm unsure as to whether we've got other Belkin users here. Did you try the Belkin forum at »Belkin (or did they send you over here)?

Wait a minute, isn't 10.101 in one of the private IP address ranges, normally used by an ISP's routers? If so, it would suggest a misconfigured ComCast router (unless the IP addys is spoofed of course).

Without seeing the Ports it's hard to be sure, it could be a mis-configured CMTS but if the ports are Source 67 and Destination 68, it is DHCP Broadcasts from the CMTS. The Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) acts as a DHCP relay agent for Broadcast DHCP which occurs when computers are booting. You would see all the Broadcast replies on the downstream channel you are using. If I had to guess I'd say the Belkin is producing false positives.

See my post below for a full explanation,some references and links to other examples of users seeing packets from 10.xxx.xxx.1 Source Port 67 to Destination Port 68.
