I use ssh to tunnel to my computer at home and I have a dynamic IP assigned
by qwest and it changes any time I reboot the router. For me the solution
was to use http://www.dyndns.com/ and set up a domain name for my IP. My
router will update dyndns anytime the IP changes. It's a pretty simple
solution and not unlike GoToMyPc - at least as I understand it.
