This has been going on for months, i had to turn off mailing the log as i
was getting 5 to 10 emails a day,
The only thing that is included in the log are port scans and DOS attacks,
is that what's happening here????

The router is connected to one PC by cable (not used very often) and one
laptop via wireless, both use xp home
and have Norton Antivirus installed.

Any help would be appreciated

Paul

Snipped.....

Are you asking for an explanation of a typical log entry, or asking why
you you're getting so many entries?

The latter is because of all the trojan viruses out there. If you want
an explanation of your log entries come back on that one.
