1) Block the offending IP at the firewall/router.

2) Call your ISP, as well as the offender's ISP, and report the attack.

If you know how the attack is being carried out, then you've obviously looked at the logs, and have all of the 
information that you need.

I have a friend that has a DOS Attack going on against their 
website.  It is being done by someone with a very popular 
website trying to squash a little guy.  He is doing it be 
placing 1 pixel by 1 pixel inline frames in his webpages and 
having them load my friends webpage.  It is killing his 
server and bandwidth.
 
What can we do to block?  The Server is W2K with IIS.
 
Thanks!
