I have my Motorola Surfboard modem feeding my Internet connection into a Linksys WRT54G broadband wifi router and 4 port switch.

I set it up about 2 years ago using what little networking experience i picked up to get it going. I have a Dell desktop wired into it, and i transmits secured wireless internet access to 3 laptops (and a DS for Mario Kart!).

Like a lot of other people, I would like to be able to connect to my home pc's remotely using the internet. Im looking to be able to transfer files from a machine inside the network to one on the net, and vice versa.
This doesnt seem possible with the DHCP system Blueyonder have in place, as my routers IP address changes all the time.

Is there a way (via the routers config screens) to allow remote access of this type?
