Marwan, I am currently using dyndns(www.dyndns.org) and a client called ddclient. The client is basically a perl program that runns in the background, and updates your external ip, such as 64.229.xxx.xxx to myname.dyndns.org. The program gets this by visiting a webpage such as checkip.dyndns.org, or one gotten from your local router. This would allow you to always connect to your inside computer by ssh'ing to myname.dyndns.org.
