IP Problem with a VB Program

[Snake]

Hi, I am having a slight problem with a program I made in VB. Its a small chat program, all the clients connect to the server program on my PC. The problem is that I am using broadband, and sometimes the IP changes. And i have put my IP into the program, so when it changes I have to upload the new program and get people to download it again. Is there a way which I can get round this? I was thinking one solution could be to have a file on my site, and get the program to read this somehow, in this would be my IP. so for it to work then my IP changes, all i have to do is change that value. Is this possible?? Another possible solution i could think of is to have my IP in my sites sql database and use the same method as before. Is there any other possible solutions that I could use that would let people always connect to this machine if my IP changes? thanks for any help

How about using dynamic dns (eg from www.no-ip.org) and putting the domain name into the program?
