Hi 

 

I re-cycled my TCPIP stack and noticed the following message while it
was coming up:

 

DTCNET400W A denial-of-service attack has been detected; issue NETSTAT
DOS for more information.

 

The output from the NETSTAT DOS command was:

 

netstat dos


VM TCP/IP Netstat Level 530


 


Maximum Number of Half Open Connections: 258


 


Denial of service attacks:


                                                   Attacks   Elapsed

0:04:45  

 

Does anyone know what this means and if it is a real problem? It looks
like the ATTACKS number is rising quickly.

 

Thank You,
