There are at least a few web services that offer a host-to-dynamic IP

Basically, you set up some special software that updates their website
every time your host gets a new IP - and you always access it using the
same URL

For example, no-ip.com provides this service freely.
I"m sure there are others, too

Hi
my ISP provides a non-statis IP. I am looking for a linux tool to
watch ip address change. that can monitor my public and local IP
address. If IP address changes it will send an email, to the address
specified, with the new IP address. This email also includes the
computer name and time the change occurred. This is useful for
computers that have dynamically assigned IP addresses, but need to be
accessed remotely.


Hope some one can help

My firewall box has that facility includded. It runs on an old PC, mine is
an AMD 333mHz cpu with 128Mb RAM and a 1Gb hard drive and three nics. Once
its installed and set up you don't even need a monitor on it as it can be
administered from a web browser. I just set up a free account with
no-ip.com. set up the option in my firewall. Have a look at smoothwall.org,
for the firewall.

Oops getting tired, i forgot to say. I think no-ip.com also have a program you
can run on one of your machines if you don't want to build a separate
firewall box
