If you have the Steam message, you can report back to Steam customer support for assistance:

https://support.steampowered.com/

You can also report the incident to your ISP.

If someone is threatening you, you need to solve that problem or the attacks will continue. That is why you need to contact Steam and your ISP so that they can deal with the perpetrator.

What make/model is your router?

reset your router, your ip should change

Call your ISP and report the issue. Ask them for a new IP address. These days simply rebooting your hardware won't get you a new IP address as most ISPs are in league with others to track you.

dmitche3 is right. Just resetting your router/cable modem will not get you a new IP address. You will just get the same one you had previously.

Depending on your router, you may be able to adjust your settings to not acknowledge external pings. That is your best bet handling yourself.

This is still a Steam and ISP issue to solve.

By its very nature, you can't really stop a DDOS attack. Not with consumer grade equipment, anyway.

Imagine a long line of people outside your door. Each ringing the doorbell for a couple of seconds, then moving out of the way. Now imagine that there are thousands of people in that line.

The only way you can make them stop is to:
1. Not draw their attention in the first place. They were all sent by one guy.
2. Call the 'cops' on them. In this case, your ISP and Steam.
3. Wait a day or two. They'll get bored and move on
