Thanks to everyone who replied.  I have my computer's address in
dhs.org and everything is working fine.

If you've got a static IP, why not have your ISP host DNS records for
you?  For the most part, the dynamic DNS services I've seen are for
people on dynamic IP lines.

Dynamic Host Services(http://www.dhs.org/) are free, and you can add as
many static or dynamic hosts as you want. The only thing is that you have
to update your details through a web-based form. Its good though and I've
never had any problems

Hi Stephen,

I use dhs.org myself, and have never had any problems with it (I have more
problems with my ISP).  dhs.org provides dynamic IP mapping free of
charge, allows you to setup multiple hosts and provides wildcard matching
as well (eg ftp.yourdomain.dhs.org, www.yourdomain.dhs.org).

You can check it out at http://www.dhs.org
