Use a free Dynamic DNS service on the windows to give your dynamic ip a domain name (no-ip, dyndns, dynu, etc). That solves that problem.
Using rsync on both machines is a great option. Install cygwin on the windows machine to get rsync there. Or if its just mysql you want then you can use MySQL-Front or another utility to synchronize the two databases. I prefer to use SSH to tunnel the mysql connection to the remote machine.
