It may be best to do two things. 1st would be to disable pings to
and from the server at the router by putting in an ACL on the router. The
second thing you'll want to do is block access to that machine via the
router from any suspect IP's or IP blocks that you suspect might be
attacking your machine. They already know it's there, so they're going to
begin or continue to try to attack it now, so you'll want to block them
from being able to access it now. Once you've done that, keep an eye on
your machine for a while for any other possible attacks. Once they stop
and nothing shows up for about 2 weeks it should be safe to remove the
ACL's from the router, but continue to monitor it for a while longer just
to be sure and add them back if nessisary.
