are you asking whether it can act as a dhcp server to hand out addresses to the lan, or whether it acts as a dhcp client to obtain an ip address from paradise?
in any case the connection is raw and unprotected. its like sex without a condom, anything can get in or out, and will get in. hell vik olliver on the nzlug list had a virus attack on a win machine (off his work lan) before it was even finished installing the other day. You do there fore need a firewall of some sort.
