Hopefully they're running their Internet connection through a hardware firewall, or at least NAT in the ADSL router. If only NTL/Virgin Media had put NAT that in their cable modems. *sigh*

FWIW (Srdjan was referring to me) my ADSL router (BT Voyuager 205) is NAT-enabled. I have also closed down most ports to outside access, with WAN access explicitly disabled for http, telnet, ftp, snmp and tftp.
