Hello,
I had the same problem with a Linksys router connected to a cable modem.
The only way I could get around this was to hook my scanning station
directly to the cable modem to run the scan aggressively.

Subject: DSL modems used for pen-testing
Has anyone else run into the problem of "swamping" the connection tables
in their DSL modems (on the attack side and the target side)? I
currently have a Zyxel 643 router/ADSL modem that I "wanted to use for
pen-testing, but the darn thing dies when doing something as simple as a
port scan.
I you have run into the problem, what was the fix other than throttling
the scanning app? If a new modem, which one?
TIA
Toby
