The best solution to accomplish your goal will be to acquire a static IP from your ISP (that place that let's you connect to the internet). Be warned; accomplishing your ultimate goal is not as simple as getting a so-called static IP. Technically speaking you are going to get more than 1 (one) IP address in the process (NETWORK and BRODCAST - possibly GATEWAY; though that /can/ be your assigned IP). Knowing how to manage all this is a _must_.
