Oh sorry I missed that. In that case, get a free dynamic hostname from someone like noip.com. Install their client on your PC. The client will keep the hostname updated with your "real" external IP address, and you can use socket.gethostbyname(hostname) to query it. It will only take a few minutes to set up the NO-IP account and client :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
