I used to get this quite often too, it always got stopped, but since the latest firmware update on my Speedtouch 546 (coming from a person who sees ALOT of ADSL routers I have to say this is the best I have found, line wise not feature wise) all that has stopped, it has some level of threat detection built in, even with NAT and the firewall off, so far this seems to be keeping them away form my door, the logs are clean on the firewall box so far


If you're using the 546 as a passthru xDSL router, then it really should be passing *everything* through. If you are using it's built-in firewall, well, yes it really should block just about everything!

Nice modem, that. I have one here, with v5.3.2.6.0 firmware on it, but would love to find the latest v6 stuff. I wonder if the UK firmware version from BT differs significantly, other than spellings?

Cheers
