DoS Attack - ACK Scan from CCP causing connection resets

I've been trying to figure out why I can't stay connected to EVE for the life of me. I've gone through three routers, two modems, all new wiring, and having a service truck some from my ISP to check my connection, no luck on any of those solutions. I've messed with every setting I can imagine and still no luck.

Eventually I noticed that every time right around when I disconnect, my router is logging that I'm getting a DoS attack (ACK Scan). I did a tracert on the IP address and it returns to CCP's servers. It looks to me like CCP is sending out questionable packets that is causing my internet connection to reset as a result. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I was having a similar issue, and found that enabling the DMZ on my router make a decent workaround. Whether or not that works for you however, will be entirely model dependent.

Edit: Nevermind. Going to try a few other things.
