I keep getting a firewall alert Saying: Minor alert E21021 DDOS Shaft Synflood Incoming was blocked. Now I tried looking it up but didn't find a exact match for E21021 but I did find a few articals on IDS252 shaft synflood incoming stateing it could be a attack or just a packet response. I did trace it with whois, as if someone couldn't have spoofed their IP. And this happens when using Kazaa Lite. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks murve, There's nothing like the vast world of information called the internet. I found some useful reading on thepublicworks. And hope to educate myself further on how identify, then dispense of such attempts.
