Your friend's ISP server was killed by a NESTEA DoS[1] attack. Upgrade to
either 2.0.34 or get the NESTEA patches from http://www.rootshell.com[2]

You need to go through the logs and see who sent the packets to kill the
server as well so you can report the offender. Law enforcement agencies
would be interested. We don't need arseholes taking down ISPs.

[1] DoS = Denial of Service
[2] Excellent site that provides details of DoS[1] attacks and patches.

Cheers,
