Home network / server



I'm a little bit out of my depth here, but nevertheless bought a 1-bay media
server to store / share files between the four pc's / laptops we have on our
home network. It's this fella:

Everything's working fine. Next, I delve into port forwarding on the adsl
router to allow remote access to the server (port 80). By remote access, I
simply want access to files on the server from my place of work because it
saves me carrying a USB stick. That seems to have panned out okay as well.

What I'm not sure about, though, is this dynamic dns thingy. I don't have a
static ip with my broadband provider, and so wonder how long it is likely to
be before I lose remote access?

If anyone could help, I'd like to know if the best way forward is managed
dns, like these folk at NoiP, or am I worrying about nothing?

Thanks
PL
