This is intended for everybody but the OP.
It's not unheard of for an utterly unknown person to claim unwanted attention from a single IP address to post a note in a security forum, prompting a swift and helpful reaction from the troops of said security forum.
This has, in the past, directed unwanted attention to that single IP from multiple IPs of forum members.
In some (but not all) cases, this attention is unwarranted; who knows the name for this phenomenon?
Hint: it involves the word "distributed" |

Does your router have port scan and DoS protection built-in? If so, have you left it active? I also have "respond to ping on Internet port" turned off. And have NAT filtering on the Secure setting. The router log shows occasional DoS attacks & port scans, but the router never locks up or needs a reboot with the above settings. My router is a Netgear, but other makes should have similar settings.

Presently the no.'s here looking at each individual IP hardley constitutes a DDOS.
Secondly Who is "Barbra" in these instances usually. An IP DDOSing a
renewable IP tends to point to a rouge IP as the culprit.
If they managed to be DDOSed not so bad.... A legit out fit being DDOSed by BBR members doing a few look-up's....naaw.

Well I must admit no reply off the OP suggest you are right.

| I second Steve's deduction.
If I was on TWC (RR.Com), it would likely be DHCP,
so rebooting the modem gets new IP and (likely) no ICMP hit.
And I would be following up to my post, if anyone helped or posted.
Streisand Effect indeed...learn something new here all the time!
