However for the last 30 minutes or more this has become a real pain and its like DOS as I cannot visit websites nor can do ftp downloads and the mail traffic has become extremely slow.
This is the same log I sent to the ISP (can't say they are helpfull yet)
1)What can I do to minimize the effect ? 2)Sorry for a basic question but how would I capture the packages coming from the adsl line (pppoe) will it be eth0 or ppp0 and since I only want to get this ip and this protocol realted thing what would be the syntax ( I know In need to RTFM but a hint will be helpfull also)
What interface has your IP? ppp0 or eth0? Ask ifconfig or netstat -i. eth0 is set to 0.0.0.0 "no IP" and only used for raw eth, so it can't be eth0. ppp0 remains, and that is what you need to use tcpdump, ethereal or snort on.
