It is very common when you have a modem that does not have a
firewall/router build in. This is especially true when you only get
one IP address, and use NAT so you can have more then one computer
with access to the Internet. Most home users, as well as small
business users, are using the firewall, dhcp server, and NAT
features of the firewall/router.
