You realize that there is a setting that denies all attempted enterance to your I.P. address right? I can make a thread about protecting yourself from the DoS attacks since I experienced it in Halo 3...



That wouldn't be a bad idea if you're willing to put the time into it. It could be helpful to the merry people who inhabit this forum.

My answer is to buy a D-Link gaming router though, not only does it come preconfigured for Live, the above said setting is correctly set by default. Plus it is traffic shaping so you can frag away with no perceptible loss and any significant other can still use any other online applications they want at the same time. ;)

Hackers are the reason I let my Alienware rig go by the wayside. If your self esteem is so low that you can only derive pleasure from bombing others online line maybe you should move out of your mothers basement or better yet suck on the business end of a shotgun!

I was playing Gears of War some time back and this A$$hole was able to knock out my internet connection, LIVE and my phone. I use COMCAST, I have all 3 on the same account. I couldn't even call Comcast to report it. I wasn't able to regain service until the next day.

People who use this hack deserve to die.
