Hi all, I have few NT4.0 servers setting up in workgroup model. There is a firewall to do NAT for these servers to allow them be part of the common VLAN before go out to Internet via a main firewall. Now, some days ago, we notice (Firewall Log)therewere millions of ping generated from one of the servers to the main Firewall ! I did checked at the Event Viewer, but found nothing.No Ping process exist in the taskmanager. What else can I check ? What's happening to my server ?
Please help !!!

Sounds like a Denial of Service attack caused from a security/virus problem. Update your OS security patches on the server(s). These machines are probally using MS products. Use retina for the 15 day evaluation period to clean up your server. You can get it at: http://www.eeye.com/html/

Hope this helps.
