SYN Packets 

I would like to know what would be the best way to resolve internal lan "SYN" Packets on a Windows network. Any help would be great. Thanks. We have a mixture of Catlyst 4003's and 3424's switches. from my monitoring station it shows pc's on my lan sending "Excessive syn packets"

Re: SYN Packets 

Hi,

Your network could be under DOS attack. This would mean that one of the computers (rogue computer) on the network is sending excessive SYN packets to every port on the server with fake IP addresses. Since the IP addresses are fake the server cannot close the connections thereby causing SYN Flooding.

This link could be helpful to protect your network against SYN flooding -
