I've got one box that's got absolutely horrible access speed to the net but it's on a T1 line and no other machine is sharing the line. Telco has tested the line and sees nothing wrong but were unable to do a bandwidth or data test to see if it's just traffic or not. The line should be pushing the full 1.544mbps, but I'm barely able to scrape 30k out of it. Any machine that connects to it goes through the roof on the processor useage and dogs out. So I'm suspect of a possible ping of death, but I wanted to rule out the local equipment first. But since anything connecting to it to test this is gagged it's impossible to do any tests. Does anyone have a way to monitor incoming traffic to find out if you're being hit with a dos attack or should I ring telco again and have them do a test on the T1 line to find the source?
