I have a cable internet connection shared with a router. I am using a updated virus program and firewall.
I get a few trojan alerts every week. Before adding hte router, I was able to trace an attack to the source pc (or the one being used).
Since adding the router, the source of the attack is listed as the router IP. How do you trace back to the source from behind a router?

Ignore thoses trojan probes until it really cause a network flooding or DOS situation. It is inofensive anyway.
