Hi everyone,
I currently have my network at home using NAS and everything is set up so I can access the storage using FTP when I'm away from home. No problems there but I'm wondering how one might go about setting something up where I can find my dynamically-allocated IP address when I'm elsewhere? There's usually at least one computer up and running at home so if it's a software-based solution, that'll work (keeping in mind that the specific computer's IP will of course not be my WAN IP).
Thanks for any and all help!

A DynDNS service.
I use no-ip.com
Sign up, configure your router if it supports it, if not, just a computer on your network, and you'll have a domain constantly resolve to your home IP. -
I agree. DynDNS is great. I think most all linksys routers support it on the router level and many others may as well. Its free and works really well.

I'm on my blackberry right now but that site looks perfect. i'll sign up when i'm on my comp. Thanks guys!

My vote goes for DynDNS as well. Even if the registered URL gets clunky (e.g., because of slow name resolution times), I can log onto the DynDNS account and get the current IP Address directly, and use that instead.
