You're not really any less secure, it just means you need to give IP 
addresses to any visiting computers because the router won't assign them 
automatically. As long as the router firewall doesn't have any bypass 
rules you're fine.

My network is a mix, the static machines benefit from me being able to 
pass certain ports to specific machines(servers) where all of the 
Laptops and pda s can just get on whenever they want, especially when I 
have friends over.
