Dynamic DNS services, like DynDNS. Works great for getting web servers on the net. Mail used to work great too, but today it is much more painful, as most mail servers out there check the reverse dns name (for lack of a better word), and if that doesn't match the name you mailserver says it has, they don't want to talk to it.Ruler2112 said:There are services out there that will provide (for free if I'm not mistaken) a subdomain of their network that resolves to whatever your home IP is. There's a small piece of software that runs on your box that periodically logs into their system so that they know if your IP changes. IIRC, there's a small amount of lag in the update process, but not bad. This was years ago I saw this - google will probably turn up something if you're interested.
