Here is my setup: DSL service connected to a D-Link 614+ 4 port router with wireless. I have my FP iMac(wired), Pismo(wireless), both 10.2.6, and 2 other PCs (no comment) connected. I would like to be able to setup a webpage on my FP iMac, but can not figure out how to configure the router to allow direct access to my IP. I can also not find the IP that the DSL has DHCPed me. I have tried to set up a DMZ, but I do not exactly know what that would do. I am fairly new with networks, but can get around with them. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
Look for a section in the router manual about port mapping, port forwarding or virtual servers. (Of course D-Link may have come up with another name for it too.
As someone mentioned dyndns.org will allow you to assign a domain name to a dynamic address. I have used it int he past with dialup and it worked quite well. It does require a small program be run on one machine on your LAN which checks for changes in the IP address and updates the DNS entry.
