The most long-standing solution for providing a fixed name lookup for machines on dynamic IP addresses is:

Dyndns.org

Essentially, when you power up your machine and get a new IP, you run a program that informs dyndns.org that a lookup like:
'bozos.dyndns.org' should be mapped to IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. After that, your IP address can be referenced by the rest of the world as 'bozos.dyndns.org'
