Don’t you mean the name of your wi-fi network?

Umm yes – thanks elf!

It’s set as oh_bugger_off!

I was a littled cidered up when I set that, but now I am well pi***d, so any thing might go 😆

I used to work at a place where the machine naming convention was The Simpsons. Domain was Springfield, Domain Controller was Burns, etc.

When we got a new core router, I named it Wiggum, on the grounds that it directed traffic.

While we’re on it.
Can I suggest that anyone who thinks it’s a good idea to name their wireless network after their own name, change it to something a bit more anonymous?

I see it all the time and it’s a terrible idea. For a start anyone who’s unimaginative enough to name their wireless after their name is also likely to be unimaginative with their password so they’ll go to the top of the list for attacking.

disabled_hero here. An old housemate set it

Mine is set too – “getorfmyland”

machine naming convention was The Simpsons

Yeah, very common one that. Lord of the rings and star trek are other ones that pop up regularly.

My personal machines are all based on bikes I’ve owned/own.

Mine is “updown” bit of a joke in this house after Higgo’s kids named a track pump “updown”.
Even the phones are “up” & “down” one is upstairs & one is downstairs 😉

I have 3 – Bilko, Barbella & Doberman

In the last tenement we lived in there was one called ‘kidporn’

I can only think it was a student upstairs who thought it would eliminate the possibility of ANYONE using his/her wifi.

Best one I’ve seen while out and about was “Yer maw’s up here”. 😆

I’ve done this before on here but the one down the end of our road is named **** OFF STUDENTS.

But obviously without the asterisks.

one of mine is called “all your web are belong to us“. yes, geek.

We use the simpsons, the main server is flanders, its mirror is maud and the two offsite back UPS are rod and tod 🙂

Mine is set too – “getorfmyland”

You need to lose the ‘d’ at the end.

Cougar – there’s a whole series there;

getorfmywan
getorfmysan

Call it ‘Police Surveillance 1’ – That’ll confuse/worry people

Ours is “iliketurtles”. youtube reference

Call it ‘Police Surveillance 1’ – That’ll confuse/worry people

I like this, and “CouncilNoise3”. Wonder if they work.

I changed a friend’s to “I_Like_Small_Boys”. He was less than impressed.

A female friend of mine who is – as we call her – ‘big in the boob’ – had hers changed to ‘Boobhilde’ for a couple of years when she wasn’t looking.

She doesn’t understand those computer things and was extremely pleased when she moved to BT and they sent her a new router with generated alphanumeric name.

There is one near work that I pick up sometimes called ‘Help-Stuck in Router’

Probably a Tron reference, always brings a smile.

If you are particularly geeky and want to have a bit of fun with the folk trying nick your wifi for free then this little tutorial may be of interest:
