Ddos/udp attacks.

[andrew]

Hey everyone

Sorry If this is the wrong place to post a thread like this.

I have been recently been ddosed or udp attacked. They got my ip through ventrilo and for some reason now i'm unable to change my ip.

I would like to know what I can do to prevent/stop these. The firewall i used did nothing to stop them.

What would you suggest ?

Do you know what port(s) they were flooding and do you know what IP(s) they're coming from.

What type of server is being flooded?

What firewall do you have in place?

Why do you think someone would want to flood you?

I'm sure we can offer some advice....just need you to answer these as best as possible.

I'm not sure what ports or the ip =/

Not sure =//

What firewall do you have in place?

None, the one i used didn't do anything at all to prevent this. I was using Comodo

Why do you think someone would want to flood you?

Kids on gaming on ventrilos who think they're cool cause they can ddos you.

So this "attack" hit your home PC then?

How many computers are on your network at home?

What O/S are they running?

If you only have 1 computer then how is it connected to the modem? Directly or through a router?
