IP Flooding

I was wondering if anyone knows a way to protect against IP flooding, such as when playing a game on XBL. It is a rather annoying inconvenience, but I’m not sure if something as simple as masking your IP will be beneficial.
Answer #1
Currently, I don’t think there is any way to stop your IP from getting flooded. Maybe, if you have a good firewall on your router that could work.
Unless you’re a networking master, it really is hard to stop something like IP flooding.
Answer #2
A networking master I am not, however if your router does not come with a firewall is there anyway to install one onto it?

From what I know, I believe that you can not install a firewall onto a router because it isn’t software. I think you would have to buy a new router that has a firewall on it. Like this one:

Answer #4
That’s what I thought, *sigh* I didn’t feel like buying a new router.
