TCP flooding attack

Hi,

Having problems setting up firewall to allow communication between tv and media server. I've checked and all three programs that need access are "allowed" but the log file seems to indicate the problem as:

"a tcp flooding attack was identified"

with the ip address of that of the tv listed.

I've tried adding the address to that of a trusted zone but that doesn't make any difference. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be much appreciated as I'm pretty clueless!

Cheers

 

seems I should have looked a bit further before posting...

However, isn't there a way to keep the protection against such "attacks" while allowing them from a particular source (in this case the tv?)

Thanks
