There are several services on the web that allow you to have a DNS reference to your home PC via a dynamic IP.
I assume they do this by setting up your PC to report it's IP adress to a central server... If you then lookup your-home-PC.somecorp.com you wil get your PC's IP address...

I've never used anything like that so I can't vouch for it's security or useability.
I used google with "dynamic IP dns" to find a few. Some claim they are free, others require a monthly fee.
