Yep, DynDNS, some dlink routers even have an update client built in... Can't go wrong.

I agree, DynDns is the only service that is support by the majority of modems manufactures by default & It always works.

sounds like dyndns it is then, seemed to the popular choice in my readings. So if the router does not support it, u need to install client software on a pc???

Yeah, it's a small package that updates automatically when your IP address changes. Just sits in the system tray. You can start it as a system service so if you log off, or you have your system set to power on after AC fail it will start automatically...

If I have multiple pc's in the network, does only one pc have to have the software installed?

most modem/routers have the dyndns option in its setup

Yeah, you only need to run it on 1 PC, all it does is update your ISP dns address to whatever it currently is. then all you do is port forwarding to the right PC.
I have VNC running on 3 PC's and 1 running an FTP server and HTTP server but DynDns on 1 PC only.

I use

Has an update client thing as well.

Have had a few different routers/computers and have never had a problem.
