    add a firewall (such as the wonderful kerio personal firewall -
    http://www.kerio.com) and block that IP from accessing the machine.
    
    you might have to do some digging at http://www.samspade.org to figure out
    what IP blocks the big guy owns and therefore might be sources of the
    attack.

    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!
