Another vote for DynDNS.

Although I remember in my days of dial-up, I had a dial up manager program
that would allow me to connect right before I got up in the morning and
download my email.  And if I so desired, I could set it so that every time
I got disconnected, I would automatically redial back in.  And I would have
a batch file that would start every time I connected that would take my
current IP address and write it to a file in my home directory.  Then, if I
needed the address for a PCAnywhere connection, I had it.  Wasn't quite as
easy as just using bytehead.homeip.net, but it worked for me.

As far as Comcast goes, I've had the same address now for almost three
years according to my records.  That's through multiple lightning strikes
and multiple cable modems.
