Can I prevent IP Spoofing attacks with wireless WRTGs router?

I think i'm under attack.
I have a WRTGs linksys router, which routes port 80 traffice to an apache webserver running bugzilla.
Scanning through the apache logs see a bunch of errors resulting from un-allowed accesses to bugzilla.  The odd thing is that the source ip address logged in these errors are all internal addresses which have been statically assigned.
For instance, a typical error in the errorlog looks like:
[Wed Jan 31 04:17:05 2007] [error] [client 192.168.1.49] client denied by server configuration: C:/Bugzilla/
The above entry was from just this morning, and was part of a cluster of about 200 errors.  At the time the log entry was made, I know there was nobody on the machine.
So, I think someone must be trying to hack my bugzilla from the outside using IP Spoofing.
I did a bit of research, which indicates that this sort of thing can be prevented by configuring the firewall to discard any packets coming in from the WAN that have internal LAN source or destination addresses.
And so my question.  Can I configure the WRTGS router to do this?  I took a look through the admin screens, and did not see anything like "get rid of all the packets that look like this". 
thanks in advance

You cannot modify the firewall rules with standard Linksys firmware. What you could do is install a third party firmware. Then you have direct access to Linux on the router and can configure firewall rules with iptables.
For 3rd party firmwares, which projects exists and on which hardware versions of the WRT54G they will work please read the wikipedia article on "wrt54".

  • Can no longer connect to internet with wireless router.

    For almost a year I've had a wrt54g ver 6 connected on my computer with my cable modem and my sons computer with the compatible pci card. Everything worked fine until a few days ago, I came home and could not get on the internet with my computer. My son could, but not me. I didn't change anything at all. So I reinstalled the router drivers and I still can't connect to the internet, but now neither can the other computer. What could be the problem?

    it sounds like you might have to clone the mac address of the computer that was originally connected to the cable modem. clone mac address can be found on setup tab after log into router.

  • Can't mount D-Link DI-624S Wireless Storage Router Hard Drive

    I have a D-Link DI-624S Wireless Storage Router that has two USB2 ports for adding external hard drives. I have an older iMac, running jaguar, connected to the router via an ethernet cable and I have a MacBook Pro, running tiger, connected to the router wirelessly.
    The iMac mounts the USB drive as it should, but the MacBook Pro can't. I get a dialogue box titled, " SMB/CIFS File System Authentication" with the Workgroup field set to "MYGROUP", the name field set to my name and the password field left blank. But no matter what I type in, the password is not accepted. Nowhere in the router settings can I add users and passwords, yet, when I connect using the iMac, a blank password field mounts the drive. This problem persists even when I plug the MacBook Pro directly to the router. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

    rootb, Welcome to the discussion area!
    The D-Link router is not compatible with WDS. Therefore you will not be able to use the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to wirelessly extend the network created by the D-Link.

  • Android Phone Issues with Wireless N+ Router

    I recently switched from a wireless g router to wireless n.  Since that time whenever I am on an android phone (first a Motorola Droid 2 and now an HTC Rezound) the sound cuts out.  The other party hears me but I cannot hear them.  Are there any settings that need to be changed?

        G2gamache, I'll be happy to help with the audio issues on your phone. It's strange that this issue started after changing your wireless settings, but that may be more coincidental. Do you notice this issue happening in a specific area or with specific people? How often does it happen? Try removing your SIM card on your SIM card for about 30 seconds and replace. Let me know if this continues to occur.

  • Can I prevent domain spoofing?

    I get approx. 300 rejection emails daily from spammers attempting to spoof my domain to various unknown recipients.
    For example, the spammer will user an email address of [email protected] send it to non-exist [email protected] then the rejection mail comes back to me.
    I've tested my server for open-relay and it does not send out open relays. SMTP outgoing requires login with CRAM-MD5.
    Is there anyway I can prevent this from occuring, or do I just live with the mass rejections?

    This is just part of life when running a mail server. Nothing you can do about.
    Even if you implement SPF and/or DomainKeys, it will just (slightly) improve how other servers "see" your server, but backscatter from forged senders will still remain.

  • TS3048 can't scroll up and down with wireless mouse, I have checked setting and everything looks good.  Any suggestions on what else I can check?

    Hi:
    I wish my suggestion had gotten you further.
    I do suggest you try to connect the keyboard again.  The request for a number is a step in it trying to pair.  If it gets by the number, it sometimes takes a little while to get connected.  If you are unable to get it connected and want a new one, I have been using Apple Bluetooth keyboards for years - and I like them. The one I have (the newest model) only uses two batteries and is very thin. 
    Speaking of batteries, if you are not already doing so, you might consider rechargeables.  I have a drawer full of them and use a 15 minute charger.  I go tired of buying batteries and rechargeables are environmentally friendly to boot. At the moment, I use 2450 mAh Energizers and a 15 minute Energizer charger (all purchased new on eBay at a very reasonable price).
    I am far from an iPad "expert," although I have one.  If my suggestion below does not help, post your question in a separate thread in the iPad forum.
    I had a terrible time syncing my iCal on my Mac with my iPad iCal (confusing - hopefully it makes sense).  I quit using iCloud as that added to the confusion. There is a facility to one-time sync items.  When you connect your computer to your iPad, iTunes opens.  The system begins a process (automatic backup and so on). After it finishes, you can click on "info."  At the bottom of the screen, there is an advanced section.  You can select any of the items and then force it to sync. The iCal information from your computer would be deposited on the iPad. 
    After all that, I do not use a Google calendar so the information may be worthless to you.
    If you want to reset the iPad to factory settings, you can do that when it is connected to iTunes (one of the options).  Me being me, I try never to erase anything.

  • Can't sync bluetooth mobile phone with wireless keyboard or mouse

    Hi,
    I can't sync my mobile phone (K750) when I am working with my wireless keyboard and my wireless mighty mouse.
    When I start the sync progress I loose contact to my mouse & keyboard....the sync progress starts with the mobile phone, but after transferring some data it also looses contact to the phone, so the sync interrupts. After some seconds I get back in contact to my mouse & keyboard.
    When I turn off my wireless mouse & keyboard and I am using a wired keyboard & mouse instead everything is working fine!
    Any ideas????
    Many greetings,

    this happens alot, use a usb2 flash drive (not usb3) and as a precaution for other issues, also disconnect any other usb devices except your kb and mouse

  • Can I prevent my book opening with the contents page?

    After the intro video I would like my book to open with the first page full screen, not with the contents. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    I have noticed that most of the books I've bought on the ibook store start on the first page rather than the contents, what program are they built with?
    You can create a standard epub with many programs. InDesign is probably the most popular, but you can also use Pages. Apple even makes a template available:

  • Can no longer order an iMac with wireless KB and mouse?

    Hi,
    I just figure out that when someone try to order the iMac, the only keyboard choice is wired. I think this disapear at the same time the wireless mighty mouse arrived.
    Am I wrong?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I had this problem. The stores had them in a package with the wirelesss
    keyboard and mouse but they were not available on-line. I had to order on-line to get some upgrades but could not have the wireless package...Catch 22.
    So when I called in my order I complained that I could not effectively get what I wanted and without much pressure I was offered a discount if I bought the wireless keyboard and mouse as extra. They knocked off £50 sterling (I'm in the UK) from the total cost. So, for about £40 more (which was the extra cost of the wireless pack in the store) I got what I wanted. With the added bonus of having a spare wired mouse and keyboard which are currently still all wrapped up in their box.
    I only placed my order on the 17th and receieved it last Friday so it should be a current deal. I hope it is not too late to help you out.
    Cheers.

  • Airport express with wireless NetGear router

    Hello everyone...
    I received an Airport Express for Christmas. I was immediately able to set up a wireless network at the home I was visiting by plugging in the ethernet cable and a few simple set up steps. After bringing it home, I was able to set it up with the stereo in my bedroom to run iTunes throughout my apartment.
    The problem is that I can't get the Airport Express to work through the wireless network already set up in my apartment. If I do the iTunes thing, I can't connect to the internet while it's playing--so it seems to be creating its own network but not connecting with the current wireless internet available in the room.
    I did the full reset (unplugged the airport, pushed and held the reset button while plugging it back in until it flashed green three times). From reading other posts I understand that I do have a wireless router capable of handling the WDS (WGR614 v6) but for some reason I am unable to set it up!
    Someone please help so i can stream iTunes and surf the net at the same time!

    thanks for the link, however my router does not show up in the airport utility. I am not using an airport base station, I am using a Netgear as stated in the original question.
    +> 1. Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.+
    This I was able to do, obviously...
    +>Open AirPort Utility. Select the main base station...+
    There are no stations listed and I have tried clicking "other" and entering the IP address I believe my router is using, but to no avail.

  • Can I use the airport extreme with a random router?

    Can I add an AirPort extreme to an existing network and have a laptop play iTunes music to a stereo? I'd like to not drop 200 bucks on a new router. Thanks for any help!

    I don't agree. I have a 2wire router for my Qwest DSL and I cannot get Airport Express to work properly. I cannot use any encryption, so I am taking the AE back tomorrow. I posted a question here, but no one answered it, and I've been chastized for bumping posts in the past.
    I'm very disappointed with my experience, and the lack of information on the packaging for the AE.

  • Can't connect to Wireless N Router at N speed

    I'm new to Mac and not very savvy with networking, but this has me stumped. I just recently purchased a new MacBook (Jan 2010). I had no real issue connecting to my home network through my Linksys WRT54G Router, but it only ran at 54Mbit/s. I purchased a new Linksys WRT120N Router, and still only connect at 54Mbit/s!
    What's aggravating is the fact I can connect to my neighbor's Belkin Wireless N router at 144Mbit/s, so I know it's capable of higher connection speeds. In fact, my MacBook keeps dropping my secured home network connection and automatically connecting to his unsecured wireless network!
    Any suggestion on how I can get my MacBook to connect to my Linksys Wireless N router at the speed it connects to my neighbors?
    I also have a Windows Laptop with a Wireless G card, so I have to leave the setting on auto or I can't connect it the the network.
    Thanks for any help!

    I spoke with Linksys Tech Support and they had me change from WPA to WPA 2. More info under About this Mac now reports:
    PHY Mode: 802.11n
    BSSID: 0:25:9c:5:73:61
    Channel: 9
    Network Type: Infrastructure
    Security: WPA2 Personal
    Signal / Noise: -45 dBm / -96 dBm
    Transmit Rate: 59
    MCS Index: 6
    Where it was reporting PHY Mode 802.11g before, but still only shows a transmit rate of 59, over the transmit rate of 54 before.
    Unfortunately, the Chat Session with Linksys was cut off before I could ask why, or how to fix it!
    This is what my neighbor's router is reporting through More Info:
    BelkinN_Wireless582902:
    PHY Mode: 802.11n
    BSSID: 0:22:75:58:29:2
    Channel: 1,1
    Network Type: Infrastructure
    Security: None
    Signal / Noise: -79 dBm / -97 dBm
    I noticed his Channel listed as 1,1 as mine is 9. Would this indicate he could possibly have a dual channel router and thus the higher speed?
    When I run the Network Utility, it reports a Link Speed of 72Mbit/s where that was 54Mbit/s before changing to WPA 2. Is 72Mbit/s the best I can hope for out of this router? Thanks again...
