If you have registered on myip.org you will have a hostname and a password.
 
Then when you install the Dynamic DNS program, open the plugin.zip file and extract the myip.dns and myip.txt files to the directory you installed the program too.
 
Next run the dynamic DNS program, click on Options - Preferences, fill in your email address and if you run a LAN at home (if you don't Ignnore this bit) click the configure button to tell DynDNS which ip address is your local LAN.
 
Next click Options - Configure Services , Click the dropdown box and pick MYIP, If MYIP does not appear then you didn't extract the files from the plugin.zip file correctly.
 
Now you put your hostname into the DNS name box and your password into the (wait for it...) password box, finally click the Active checkbox and then Save Changes
 
Now on the Dynamic DNS program you can click Refresh to Manually up IP, But from now on all you have to do is to put a shortcut to Dynamic DNS into your startup folder, It will then refresh your hostname ip everytime your PC connects to the Net again.
 
 
Hope that makes sense, any questions just ask away.
 
BTW typed this while I was very tired, so there is probably lots of mistakes :o)

Mark I would be grateful of your advice on setting up the dynamic dns program along with the myip.org to collect my btinternet dynamic ip address. For some reason I cannot get it to set up. I also logged into www.dyndns.org as a possible alternative.
 
Unfortunately I have been spending more time lying down than on my pc at present, but hopefully soon I shall be able to spend more on the pc.

I'm using Dynamic DNS from...
 
This little tool sits in your system tray.  Everytime you go online it points your chosen URL (in my case otto.myip.org) to your current IP.  Look here too http://www.myip.org/dd/
 
It is also really handy for things like Netmeeting, BuddyPhone etc as my mates don't need to know your current IP to contact you.  They just use otto.myip.org.

Thanks for your advice Mark. I have downloaded the software and am pretty impressed.
 
You may be able to help with one question I have regarding the dynamic ip addresses set by btinternet. How do I put a link on my webpage to my home server.
 
Thanks
Campbell

I'm using this to automatically dial in to BT when it's free.
