Congratulations on getting the port forwarding to work. What you might try for your ISP IP update problem is something like the service that no-ip.com provides. You can hit a URL such as spanky.no-ip.com and it will forward to the correct / current IP of your computer. The current IP is updated from a program that runs on your computer. I think you can set how often it updates. Go to www.no-ip.com for more details.
Anyway...
