Thank you for your reply. You had it right about the problem having to do with my IP address changing. I had set up a dynamic IP address and had set my router to constantly update the IP address. It wasn't doing that, so I just downloaded a DNS updater program called DeeEnEs and it constantly updates my DNS every 10 minutes. That seemed to have solved the problem.
