Register with dyndns.org .  Note your username, password, and hostname. 
Install ddclient.  Edit /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf so it contains something
like so:

# start ddclient.conf
daemon=600                              # check every 10 min
syslog=yes                              # log update msgs to syslog
mail=SOMEBODY@EXAMPLE.ORG               # mail all msgs to somebody
mail-failure=root                       # mail failed update msgs to root
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
use=if,                     if=eth0             # via external NIC
login=DYDNS_LOGIN
password=DYNDNS_PASSWORD
server=members.dyndns.org,              \
protocol=dyndns2                        \
DYNDNS_HOSTNAME
# end ddclient.conf

/etc/init.d/ddclient start , then "chkconfig ddclient on" or whatever.  This
should work to get you started.  There are *a lot* of options to ddclient. 
Some of them might be useful somewhere; that's what you'll have to figure out
on your own....
