Packetmuncher (I like this one)

Lord of the Pings

I'm trying to think of a name for my firewall. I'll take some recommendations, and make a poll.

It can't be anything overly stupid like "I=r0X0rz", and I'd like to stay away from male reproduction, so dingleberries, whoever he may have been in a previous life, needs not apply.

It's a dual Celeron 333 running FreeBSD 5.

Don't vote yet!

Crap, it didn't form the question for some reason. Oh well, throw them out anyway.

No offense, but thats a waste of a not-totally-useless machine. You can run a firewall on any old P-60 as long as it has PCI slots for your 10/100 nics. Both firewalls will give the same performance.

Dingleberry was the bumbling and inept (and hilarious) watchman in Shakespeare's "Much Ado about Nothing."

I don't give my computers names, just numbers to designate them.

dogberry?

You could go for obscure DC comic trivia and name it Motherbox

Maybe he doesn't have any P60's paying around?

I use a P2-233, it's the crappiest box I have, and it does sweat quite a bit when pushing 10 Mbit of 3DES/MD5 encrypted traffic, so I wouldn't say power is useless there.

How about Alcatraz?

 

[dman]

No Poll yet, shenanigans! At least change the tread title to not say poll... how about 'Help name my firewall' And remove 'Don't vote yet.', since there's NO POLL.

And free bump.

 

[RJ45]

how about Johnny5? Remember from "Short Circuit"?

It's going to be a firewall, router, webserver, online radio station, and it's going to fold.

I was thinking about putting in a semi-decent video card and selling it, but I don't really want to bother with it.
