Thanks for the link

Hmmmm.

Do i have to use 3rd party then? or am i mis-reading it?

 

dyndns is free for the basic accounts and comes with its own client software for windows&linux. a lot of routers (ie netgear) have dyndns clients built in too so you dont even ned to run the client software on the PC
