External ip address?
I was wondering what is the worst thing some one could do with an external ip address?

If a hacker wanted to mess with you, they could take your IP and do a port scan on your system/network looking for things to exploit. If you have a good(updated) anti virus program and a good firewall installed you won't have to worry much about that though. If your Ip is dynamic you don't need to worry,the Ip will change if you restart your modem/router (mostly) or over a certain period of time.
Most people are behind a router anyways, and don't forward their ports unless they're running a server (and most people aren't running a server.)
If you aren't running a server don't worry about it. If you are, make sure all your shit is updated and the server isn't reported as vulnerable.

I am running a small server for minecraft. My isp says i dont have a static ip but i tried unplugging my router for about an hour and plugging it back in and i still had the same ip and i did the ipconfig release and renew and still have the same ip but i dont really care.
