DoS ICMP Flood
Hello All,
Over the past few weeks, I have been seeing Dos Attack ICMP Flood from what looks like an ipv6 address. It causes no disruptions in my internet connections from what I've seen OTHER than in gaming. I lose connection from games on the Xbox platform. My Xbox connection drops at the same times as the ICMP floods. This is happening approximately every hour. I read a few posts on here but couldn't find a solid answer as most did not show the same log entries as what I have. Below is a sample. Does anyone know how to stop these? I have ipv6 enabled, Upnp enabled, dos protection on, etc. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Sgtshearer
Does this only happen when you are on the xbox or do they come in even when not gaming?
