Of course it didn't say that. Did you get the feeling, from the OP, that such kind of information would be given? That's why I said that the default setting for most WiFi routers nowadays is to provide NAT/DHCP automatically. I can be expected to be such a setup.

If you are connecting to an unsecured wireless network, you should enable your firewall and disable any sharing features you do not need. It sounds like you can trust your neighbor, but anyone can drive by, pick up the network, and do damage to unprotected machines..

All this can be done in the Sharing tab of System Preferences.
