Hi!
Fairly new to the firewall thing. I installed one to just test and I'm getting quite a bit of messages that I am not entirely understanding;
2001/05/10 9:22:52 AM GMT -0800: SMC EZ Card 10/10..[0001][Ref# 3] Blocking incoming ICMP: src=24.114.38.162, dst=255.255.255.255, type 8.
These have been coming in for at least 3 hours now. About one every 10 seconds. It seems to be a DoS type of attack, although a bit slow. But, I do not entirely understand the destination address of 255.255.255.255. I believe this is a general broadcast address.
Any help in pointing me to where I can learn a bit more about this and possibly what I can do (at a router level) to prevent it.
Thanks
Geoff
