Thank you, Zoran. I'll try to implement your ideas. As Marius said, dynamic
dns is a good solution. I've just opened an account at dyndns site. I've
installed ddclient for my desktop pc.
Now comes the big problem. I must implement Zoran's idea to get my 770
automatically sending its IP to dyndns server.
770 gets its IP from a phone connection. This means that my phone company
changes its IP every time I connect the device to the net. I've got no
experience with scripts, but I'll do my best, and maybe it'll be the first
of a long list :)
It would be easier if there was a fine package of ddclient. But I suppose
that binaries available at dyndns are not useful for 770, am I right?

Incoming connection is rather not the cause of the change.You didn't
mention
how do you get addresses. If you make it via dhcp from wireless router,
then
the leasing time should be considerably long enough. Time is measured in
se-
conds, so get it high.

You have ip problem. And looks you have two web pages, one on desktop, one
on 770. One of them is overfluous. Take this scenario:
you have router that gives ip address to the box that asks for it. 770
asks
and gets new address for every 43200 seconds or similar. You should know
address range of that router. Fire up nmap and get the result from it.
nmap -p 80 192.168.1.0/24 | pipe
The pipe means you have to use grep or whatever you like to see the line
with positive match. That line gives you ip address of your 770. Little
cut command and you could get rid off un-necessary particules. All in
pipes.
Then use ajax to dinamicaly change the page or put it in command line,
like
lynx $ADDRESS
Cron could do it a regular interval. Or your 770 has no power or memory
and
reboots and gets new address whenever it happens.

You could change the way your router sees boxen. But dhcp is fine for home
usage.
