He may already have a static local IP. But most people have dynamic PUBLIC ips. Some ISP's have it so the ip doesn't change ever, even though they charge extra for a static public ip :P (my isp does this, so my ip doesn't change ). But forward the port, and if your ip changes; people will say "its offline!" even though it is, your ip probably changed. You can fix that by reading up on what DNS is, to understand it then use no-ip, or dyndns.

And dont worry about someone getting your server.cfg file. Unless they have infected your computer with a virus, or you have a ftp thats open on your server, you should be safe.
