I scored a free PowerMac G4 from a friend so I replace the Pentium 4 that I was serving and firewalling and routing with before. more for fun than anything else. and because the case is much nicer-looking.
it's one of the ones that has the side of the case that kind of folds down. it's pretty neat.
only downside I've found is that altq (queuing built into pf) doesn't work on the PowerPC architecture. oh well!
not sure why I made this thread, I was just pumped I got this for free.

do you have a static ip? what are you running on the g4?
no static IP anymore :(. I used to have one with Speakeasy but now I've got Verizon DSL, and in addition to not giving me a static IP, they block incoming requests on port 80 so I've got all this weird port business with my web server.
I'm running OpenBSD.
the net connection seems a bit slow right now, but that seems to happen a lot with whatever hardware I'm using when it starts to get hot up here. it's been 90 or so the past few days and I'm guessing that might be taking a toll on the crappy DSL modem Verizon gave us. or one of the crappy PCI network cards I have.

yeah i got a free powerpc g4 apple cube sitting at my house.
sweet machine.

I had some issues with the wireless PCI card randomly crapping out. I could connect but couldn't ping the router. back to the P4 I go :/.
