This is a good point, just look at the percentage of networked computers out there running MS Windows (not to mention the proposed future of dish washers, and other home appliances) and they all have a "Network Neighborhood" option which will try to identify other computers either by name or IP. In these cases a simple switch or hub could be used. Security inside the firewall is of less concern, but should still be a consideration here.
