that is broadcast becuase your browser sends it. It's public infomation so to speak.

Yes, a "bad guy" needs your IP to attack you, but as long as you don't have any ports (ie a program or service running, a browser uses port 80 for insance) open there is nothing they can do to you. Just don't leave open shares, don't use a simple password.
