IPspoofing

["Edgar EZL. Zapata Lucas" <ezapata () grupodetector com>]

We are concerned we are subject to dDOS attacks or any other like social eng, spoofing or password guessing.
We have little evidence, but want to be protected.

Since we have very little experience in security issues, how can we protect -at a practical level- against a let's say 
IP spoofing attack?
I know I can set up filters to drop external packets with internal source addresses, but I need to possitively prevent 
this issue at a practical level.
Have no idea where to start.  

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks and regards.
