Moses,

Couple of ways to skin this cat.

Your router does have a dynamic address. Simplest way to handle this is to sign up for a free account from someone like no-ip.com.

You will end up with a unique domain name that never changes.

On you Mac you run a little utility that will automatically update no-ip' database with your routers current address. You can set the update interval to whatever you like.

So to get to the router you enter xxxxxxx.no-ip.com

Now you need to get past the router. You can either open a port for the communication protocol or define a computer behind the router as a DMZ which would basically open the box up to the outside world.

i would recommend using a VNC client, look into Chicken of the VNC.

It's a remote desktop client, open source so it's free and does not require you to expose a computer to the outside world.

Or buy Apples remote desktop which is a great product as well.

PM me if you need help walking thru it.

Scott

EDIT: Mikester suggested dyndns which is a similar service to no-ip. It's a good suggestion as most current routers have support for it built in so you do not need to run a utility on your computer to handle the update.
