[LI] Machine with private IP address on Internet (May be offtopic?)

[Srikrishnan Chitoor]

Hi All:

  Forgive me if this is a naive question.

 I have a computer directly (no firewall) connected to Internet and which
has an IP address of 192.168.1.100.

  Is this computer more secure than a computer that has a valid Internet IP
address (like 207.209.79.204) and is behind a firewall?

  If need be, assume all other configurations are same.

-Krishnan.
