Hi,
has anyone had a problem with FreeBSD coming to a halt because
of flooding of packets to port 445 from infected windows machines?
My FreeBSD is version 5.2 and is a proxy server between an
internal network and the internet running NAT with ipfw. The
machine practically comes to a halt when it is bombarded with
traffic to port 445 from some virus, as soon as I disconnect the
internal NIC it becomes normal. Is there anything I can change to
avoid the machine stopping?
Cheers,
