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