Two problems:

1) I don't have a home server. I have a bunch of machines including
WinXP, Fedora 3 and MacOS X, all sharing the same ADSl connection. The
FC3 and MacOS machines are laptops and hence not suitable as servers.

2) My ISP gives me an ADSL connection to a variable IP address. I know
there are ways round this but it's a pain.
