Ok , I was playing age of mythology online and I got suddenly got disconnected . I looked at my firewall and noticed that it had stopped a whole heap of smurf attacks . The IP address that it came from was the same one that my AOM.exe was broadcasting to while I was playing the game online . Does this mean that someone was trying to attack me by the game server or what?

thanks

Probably.Last week I got attacked through an unreal (standard) server.
I suggest staying away from the server that attacked you if possible.(not sure how AOM runs their servers).
