Currently using Sky for my broadband and I get a different IP more or less every time I turn the PC on.

I want to get access to the server at work, but need to put my IP into the firewall, but obviously keeps changing.

Phoned Sky and they don't offer static IPs. Is there anything out there that I can do keep it fixed?

Thanks chaps

It's the IP I route out on the internet with. My PC has a static IP, but when I route out on to the internet I get a different one. (Checked using - www.whatsmyip.org) and it's this IP I need to put into the firewall.

And that's the one that changes occasionally when I boot up PC. I turn the router off at the wall at nights, so that's likely what's giving me a new one each time.
