Or you can use dyndns dot com. It lets you assign a free web address that always points towards you dynamically changing IP address.
My dLink router even has a page to auto refresh with the website when normally you just need to install thir windows client.
All I do is set my router to virtual server or port forward like 3 or 4 ports: router admin page; ftp admin page; and ftp access. I have also set up port forwarding for Remote Desktop in the same way but I don't need to anymore because RescoExplorer has a deisel ftp plugin.
