Actually, your IP shouldn't change at the end of the least unless your ISP
has a really messed up config for their DHCP server: the client should renew

have the same IP.

www.dyndns.org is now doing full domains with dynamic IP's, for a small, one
time, donation, so you can have a full domain pointing to your DSL

Hope that helps.
