Why not have them register with dnydns.org (it's free) and then you could always use the same name to access their computers.
I also use ddclient to check for an IP address change every 5 minutes so I never have to go more than 5 minutes without the ability to connect. Imagine losing the remote connection and having to wait a hour to connect again if the friend isn't around to tell you the new IP address.
How should this be done if the computer is behind a router? In other words, it would be the router's IP that is actually changing, right? So can the computer behind the router detect that the router's IP changed? Thank you.
