by jgwinner June 16, 2009 3:00 PM PDT: Although most people have said Arpamet, it didn't operate on TCP/IP, so the word "original name" is a little loose.

It might be more accurate to use NSFNet, as someone on that network could actually be *on* the Internet today (and are!) If you were on Arpamet, you probably needed some firmware updates by now :)
