Hi,
    I suggest you take a look at syn-cookies solution. Anyway, you did 
not give enough information about what kind of DDOS to we help you.

SYN-cookies only fix one type of DDoS attack: SYN floods. These are in
the real minority these days and would do zero for most of today's DDoS
attacks. Also, they are implemented by default in many/most current *nix
O/Ses (don't know about Windows).

With botnets, protocol-based attacks (like SYN floods) are not as
serious an issue as they were a few years ago. Today, we have to worry
more about bandwidth starvation attacks, for which the only pseudo-cure
is anycast, which leaves TCP-based services still hard to protect.
