The attacks go on

I'm still getting notices from my router that IP address 7.12.12.16 is trying to find its way into my network. Each attempt consists of five different DoS attacks (and, no, I don't really have a good grasp on this stuff). These attacks are fairly regular, usually coming after a 5 or 6 hour interval and always at the start of the hour.

I don't have a static IP address - my address has changed three times since these attacks started. I don't think I'm being singled out and I doubt these attacks have anything to do with the department of defense, but they are something between a curiosity and a concern.

I'm also getting single, less frequent probes from IP address 34.168.1.34, which is supposedly a Halliburton address.
