Sounds like you want a dynamic dns service.

go to http://www.dyndns.org org and register

once logged in click the services tab

on the left hand side select the dynamic dns link it will expand to a 
list of sub options.

click add host and make up a hostname and select which domain you want 
it to belong to and click add.

Once you have done the above you need a DDNS Client, Click the Clients 
link under Dynamic DNS and select one for your OS.

Download and configure it with your www.dyndns.org username and password 
and the hostname.xxxxx.xxx domain you selected and configure the update 
options per your tastes (the defaults are always a good start)

Now when ever you dial up make sure that you have the DDNS Client active 
and updating your name to ip address mapping.
