I hope nobody minds that I jump in here, but my Linksys cable/dsl router 
has a DDNS option.  It says I need to sign up at either tzo.com or 
dyndns.org and, from what I've read, can access my home network thru it, 
even when my Comcast DHCP address changes.  Has anyone used either of 
these services?  Pros or cons?  Any other security items that I should 
consider if I wanted to go this route?  I was thinking that I could 
setup a port forward to my Mythbox for SSH (like if I SSH to the dynamic 
domain name on port 2222, forward it to my internal Mythbox's IP on SSH 
port 22).

Thanks for any ideas.
