They are two different things. Think of your IP as your address where you live. Your firewall limits access to ports or doors on your computer. Doesn't matter what your IP is, you'll use the same port everytime, despite your constantly changing IP address. Does that answer your question?

If your firewall is enabled and your antivirus program is running, then you don't have much to worry about.

What you want to do is head out to www.dslreports.com or someplace similar. You can do a free "port scan" there. A port scan will look for any open ports or "doors" that your firewall might have left open. The report should give you an idea if things are working or not. B)
