An odd question, but I'm going to assume you're on a broadband connection? If so, what kind? I know that some of the Netopia DSL/Cable routers will allow WAN to do DHCP. I had one of my smaller LANs "hacked" (well, actually they grabbed an IP from the DHCP pool, and net send <msg> to the LAN. Hardly a hack, but still a breach of the network). :)
