Then once you get a dedicated IP, you can use IP Masking so you can have an actual web address, not just a bunch of numbers

Check out the follwoing URL for a complete list: http://www.redirectionguide.net/rg/cgi-bin/search.pl?type=IP+Masking

UPDATE: www.dhs.org has a service so you don't have to have a dedicated IP...

You can always use your static IP address to access a server on your PC. But if you want a domain you’ll need an IP and a name server.

Contact your ISP. They’ll need to assign you a dedicated (non static IP) number. Some ISP’s will do this free of charge, well others will charge you extra or can not/will not do it at all. You may want to consider getting DSL. You’ll get faster speeds and most DSL providers don’t have a problem supplying a dedicated IP.
