I was referring to your ISP lease timing not LAN DHCP. you might not have access to it. try checking if there's network logs. they might show it.
I've set my router onto Bridged-mode and got a new IP-address. Then I went to the vDSL-settings and set it to static, with the info I've got using Briged-mode. Unfortunately, my ISP blocks static IP settings, and therefore I didn't have any connection.
if you change your IP, or use a proxy, won't this person just find the IP again and DOS the new IP?
@DennisdeWit my ISP doesn't allow blocking port 80
Not allow to block port 80 in your PC Firewall?
Nope, they consider that a server.
i dont get why your ISP doesn´t understand the situation and just assigns you a new IP..
isn´t it better for both parties to have this resolved?
Traffic passes through the router first, so if the router is down, then there's no use for the firewall at the PC as the PC is not even reachable anymore.
Hi there Dennis, just ask them for a new ip. It worked for me when i had KPN.
I have Telfort (former Tiscali) and they e-mailed me that it is not technically possible to assign a new IP-address and I should call their far to expensive helpdesk when I get attacked again. Most attacks are in the weekends. Guess who's closed then? Yup, their helpdesk.
Hmm, if you really care about your radio move to a differant provider. Big chances your ip will also change. Or say your ip is broken if they are that stupid... Maybe someone will create a ticket to the tech department.
Mine does. Support can do all things tech(that don't require them to come to my house).
Depends on the type of DoS but it maybe possible to identify where he is launching the attacks from and report it as abuse. Whether the owner of the source IP range reacts is another story, but might be worth a shot if you aren't able to get out of the way of the attacks
So your problem is basically solved then?
No. Because I can't use a home network now.
