HELP_ME

hey, some guy keeps threatening me with my ip and now i often get major ping spikes and my internet freezes for a while. i have a feeling it is him because ive never had this problem before, or at least not like this. first, is there anyway i can check if it really is a dos attack? and second how can i prevent it?

Briefly skimmed the other Thread you had, but forget specifics.

Call your IP and explain what is happening.

imsati gave the best advice. Only way that you'd be able to really stop him is changing your IP... And that leads to your provider...

in the mean time, keep your firewall up with tight rules, and close all open ports.

hmmm i think i found a solution, but im not sure. i removed all my forwarded ports and also enable "Block WAN request" on my router. that should do the trick right? i had it enabled cause i use to run a server. he doesnt know i know and he thinks im clueless that hes doing anything to me. but ya do you guys think blocking WAN requests will work? i dont really know what it does but i read stuff on it and it sounds like it should do the trick.

lol. that guy's going to dedicate the next 5 years making your life miserable. probably got some of his friends too.

most likely you have a static ip. just request an ip change. then figure out how he got your ip.... forum posts, gaming, etc?

you can probably try peer guardian and see where this ip is coming from.

once you figure out the ip then.... fight fire with fire and have an e-war

I don't know if that's the best advice....(although I do agree with it haha).

Anyways, getting IP's is easy, so trying to find out how he got it is almost useless.

i called for an ip change and apparently its dynamic. shouldnt that technically mean its always changing and he wont have it anymore? actually, is it possible to make it static myself? because i think ive done something like that when i use to run a server. i went to network connection then into local connection and in properties changed something from "obtain an IP automatically" to "use the following". any idea what that is and if i should siwtch it back to obtain automatically?

and about how he got it, well it was easy for him, we were on a css team together and he was leader, thus he owned all the servers so he could have got it from just about anywhere. i have the ip of one of his friends who is probably in on this with him from when i had rcon and took an "rcon status" screen shot. and about the "e-war" i dunno if thats a good idea cause he probably knows way more than me about this. but ya ive considered it. but it would be easier to run and hide.

alsooo, i just installed zonealarm firewall in hopes of helping the situation. theres a few things i would like to know.
1. its been installed for maybe an hour or two and it says its blocked over 2100 access attempts. they are increasing by the second it seems. i was wondering how normal this is and what does access attempt mean?

2. there is an IP blocking feature so i need to know how to get his ip. i was thinking of using some netstat command in the command prompt, but i have no idea what im looking for, and he is most likley doing stuff from a proxy, right?
