Just check one of the best in free dinamic dns client. http://www.no-ip.com Register and add a host to your account then in your dad computer you install a client(check it in downloads section) configure the client with the email used to register to no-ip services and your password and thats it....check config to run as a service to run at boot time.... > I am trying to figure out how to do this under Linux now.
