Basically, it won't affect random attacks, but makes targeted attacks much
more difficult, as your IP address changes all the time, preventing
disgruntled usenet users finding your fixed IP address from a message and
launching a DoS or more sophisticated hacking attack.

Oh, I agree. However, it lays you open to being the target of an attack
from a user who was disgruntled with the last person to have your IP
address....swings and roundabouts!
