Shaun’s Notes

Many ISPs dynamically assign their client IP address, therefore, the customer has to rigorously maintain a record of their IP to be able to access a home computer remotely.

Dynamic DNS services allow users to create a hostname, like hostname.domain.com, such that the hostname will automatically redirect them to their home computer.

List of FREE Dynamic DNS providers:
DynDNS.org, ZoneEdit.com, No-IP.com and easyDNS.com

Simply create an account with one of the above providers and install their software to one of your computers you wish to access.

Or if you have a router with a built-in Dynamic DNS client, like the D-Link DIR-625 or WRT54G with DD-WRT firmware, there is no need to install the software.
