i have a dynamic ip that changes every 30 days or so and i would like to make a server so that when i access a static address ( lets say : www.staticaddress.com ) it will direct me to my server even when my ip has changed. Note: my internet connection first enters a router that supplies 3-4 computers with internet connection ( via cable or wireless ) . can anyone direct me to a tutorial?

If you have a domain name whose DNS records you control fully, this can in fact be done.
Sign up for a dynamic DNS provider like DynDNS
Get a sub-domain under one of their domains like xyz.homeip.com
In your domain's DNS records, for www
, add a CNAME entry pointing to xyz.homeip.com
