I am really interested in using Ultra VNC's single click remote help software. However, my ISP (bresnan) won't give me a static IP unless I have a business account, which of course costs more money. This is really stupid in my opinion and I'm even considering switching to another ISP because of it. But before I do that, I was wondering if there is a way to have some sort of "fake" static IP address? Some kind of service that tracks my dynamic IP and redirects my "fake" static IP to my dynamic IP. Does anyone know of any reliable service that can do this for me? Or should I just switch ISPs entirely and get a real static IP?

You are going to find that almost every ISP does this. They also block ports on residential accounts such as port 80 to stop you from hosting sites and what not.
There is a service that does what you are looking for, but for some reason the name has COMPLETELY slipped my mind. I am sure someone will have the name.

thanks for the replies! I'll check these out and hopefully I can get one working. I'm currently using CrossLoop but I don't really like how there's a whole community of cheaper techs. And being able to skin UVNC single click with my logo is a really nice feature.

It's kind of silly how often people ask about something like this on these forums... I'm starting to think that some sort of search function might be a good addition to the forums.

No harm...It just seems like Dyndns.org came up a few times in just the past few days!

I setup a dyndns account, configured the single click application, forwarded the ports on my router, and began vnc viewer in listen mode. However when I tested the SC application, nothing happens on my computer. The SC side gets the bubble messages and everything, but no connection is established. Isn't something supposed to pop up on my computer? I don't really know what could be going wrong. Would someone please review my helpdesk.txt file?
