Nyx Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 does it have a name or just a number? Did you name it yourself or was it named when you bought it? If you go into the control panel and click system choose the computer name and see what`s in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanSumption Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I tend to just name them after the manufacturer, or case manufacturer, so I currently have Akasa, Cooler (Coolermaster), Vaio1 and Vaio2. When I used to run a "proper" webhosting setup, I named our servers after things that got me going in the morning, so we had Croissant (the firewall with the hole in it), Cigarette (the smoking webserver) and Coffee (the caffeine-powered database server). When we added a second webserver I called it Chocolate. Funny how many good things start with a "C". The IT department of the company where I was based, who were helping me to get these machines up and running, were a little dismissive and at the same time a little jealous of my whacky naming scheme. Their servers had exciting names like "S0197". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyx Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 lol i love it when things get named, makes em a little bit more personal and fun. Most things like this have little fun stories behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddycoffee Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 In the computer industry, many of the sad types in server rooms name their servers after things from star wars or red dwarf. I however am cool and have 2 sets of 3 machines at work.
