If the routers external IP address changes you need some kind of external service to find it. I use a dynamic DNS service from www.mythic-beasts.com. There is a scheduled task on my windows PC that updates the address. Dave

We can setup internal static IP addresses on the router, and setup port forwarding so that they are accessible from the internet. No outside service necessary.
That's what Bill did, but there were issues related to the router's IP changing, various ports being blocked (we think), and the router itself misbehaving.
