Use a dynamic DNS service which tracks your IP address. Then, you'll just give your address out:

eg: myserver.muppets.com

http://www.noip.com
http://www.tzo.com

Just to name a few.

With some service providers, you can actually force the IP address which your router uses ( as long as it's still available in the dhcp pool ).. you can give it a try.. don't ask me how to do it, I'm not in the mood for writing essays today ;) Check your manual out for your router and see if it supports it. If your ISP doesn't support that, then you'll just have to stick with idea #1, or purchase a static IP address from your ISP.
