Robert,

  Check out www.dtdns.com.  I've used them for years.  They are a
third party DNS service and they have several programs available for
download which will check your IP address every so often (seconds,
minutes, hours) and update their DNS servers automatically.  You or
your friends will never know your IP address has changed.  It's cheap,
$20 bucks per year and they are very reliable.  In the years I've used
them I don't think they've ever been down.

  Hope this helps.
