Attact? Event Log Warnings

Hi All:

HELP??? I'm getting a string of warnings of from 10 to 30 at a time
in the Event Log. They give the same IP address and it is
non-existent: "DNS Server could not connect to DNS server at
204.255.246.20" and the next one reads the same with a 204.255.246.20.
Are these spoofed attacks attempting to send email? (My router is
blocking AFAIK). If so, I'd like to find these greedy fools. Most
nights during backups a lockup causes me to restart at 5AM. . . The
backup completes! I wonder if the lock-up is related. Is there
software out there that can trace such spoofed attempts?
