Now about the issue of dynamic WAN IPs. There are a few services you can sign up with for free that act sort of like a DNS service for private routers. They allow you to log in to an account name instead of an IP number, and will re-route the name to the current WAN IP of your home router. Every time your ISP changes the number, your router informs the service and they update the routing info. Most routers these days support this stuff, I think. My Netgear router supports any of three of these services, one of which is dyndns.org, which is what I will probably use. Once you sign up, you just set your router to notify the service at every IP change.
I use dyndns and fine it very satisfactory but be very careful about using your router to update it for you. I tried this using a Netgear router and got blacklisted for submitting changes every few minutes. Go to the dyndns site and find a client. For Mac OS X DNSUpdate works flawlessly and unobtrusively.
