The "computer" or "internet" correct translation for Firewall
to Spanish IS "Cortafuego". Cortafuego is the same term
that firemen use to indicate a Fire resistante Wall, as in Firewall.

Maybe people from Spain have a different term since they "like" to
translate everything to "their" Spanish.. :)
