    From my own router too, what's up with this? When it scans I get disconnected from the internet too and I am on DSL. Now how can my own router port scan me when I am the only one of 4 computers on my network even turned on and connected to the internet?

    I can't do that, when my boys are on they sometimes seem to get nasties that try to infiltrate the network, so network protection stays on. Question is why would my own router be port scanning me?

    Thanks, but I only use the router, so it has to stay on.

    What logs? I'm not sure where, or even if my 2wire router is logging anything.

    Your KAV logs that will hopefully indicate what kind of traffic is being blocked from the router. (or some more details from the alert)

    Not being a KAV user I cannot help here, but would hope alerts are logged somewhere. When you get these alerts about the traffic from your router is there any details in regards to protocol and ports?

    Thanks for the log entries ...
    Code:
    Report:

    ... unfortunately they are missing the source port.

    You noted initially these were from your router. To confirm, is 192.168.1.254 the IP of your router? Does you router proxy DNS lookups? The destination ports (local ports) are all in the ephemeral range so these could be late packets from legitimate traffic, but without complete logs it is difficult to say just what may have triggered this.
