I hadn't thought about that. Personally I use DynDNS's updater client for OSX, and Hamachi (and Back to my Mac, which doesn't always work). If internet drops (and you're assigned a new IP address), DynDNS picks up the change within a few mintues. Hamachi takes about 5-30 minutes before it's working properly again. As for Hamachi vs. MobileMe's "Back to my Mac", I've found Hamachi a bit more reliable. Cool. I hadn’t thought about that.
