+1 for dyndns. I use ddclient on a linux box on my lan to update them. A few caveats. 1) They require you to update them every 15 days whether your ip changes or not, or you will lose your registration with them. They also limit you as to how many unnecessary updates you send. 2) If you are behind a hardware router which claims an internal dyndns client, it's entirely likely that it doesn't adhere to #1. The dyndns site, last time I looked, said that there were no hardware routers which met all of their requirements. I switched from a router which didn't claim ddclient support to a Netgear which did claim it when router #1 died. I figured that I'd take a little bit of load of the linux box and use the Netgear client instead. Although I have a dynamic ip address, it tends to be rather stable. About twenty days after I switched, I got an e-mail from dyndns saying that I hadn't reported in within 15 days, and was about to lose my registration. So I switched back to ddclient.
