    A few options...

    You could use logmein on your PC to gain remote desktop access it. Run www.whatismyip.com which will give you your current Public IP address.

    OR

    Use an application (the name of it escapes me) that emails you with an update of your Public IP address

    OR

    Sign up with dyndns who assigns you a particular URL. You install an application on your PC which does the IP update. Some routers nowadays also support this. http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/

    OR

    Apply for a Public IP address from your ISP

    Have a look at your router.

    A lot have an option to automatically update your DYNDNS account so you won't have to keep your PC on all the time.

    The Netopia from Eircom isn't one of them unfortunately.

    You don't need a static IP, pm me again as in the instructions you sent me there are directions on how to set up dyndns.org on the Netopia via Telnet
