SSH access to machine behind router

[Matthew Page]

Congratulations on getting the port forwarding to work.

What you might try for your ISP IP update problem is something like the
service that no-ip.com provides.  You can hit a URL such as
spanky.no-ip.com and it will forward to the correct / current IP of your
computer.  The current IP is updated from a program that runs on your
computer.  I think you can set how often it updates. Go to www.no-ip.com
for more details.

Anyway...  Food for thought.
