Look at this site for DNS domain forwarders for dynamic IP's.
This allows you to have connections to your home system without you needing to
get your IP address to connect.
Like www.yourdomain.xxx or www.yourdomain.hostDNS.xxx will work for you.
i'm using the cjb.net service for almost one year and it seems to work fine. Just go to www.cjb.net and fill the form with your data. Then, select to forward the address you have chosen to your machine's IP. It works very well with dynamic IPs.
