Connecting two computers with dynamic IP addresses...

I have many computers at different locations using the same cable broadband provider. I would like one PC to somehow transmit it's IP address to the other computers so that I can access my password-protected shares. Because the destination computers also have dynamic IP addresses, it would probably have to transmit the IP address through email.

Is it possible to write a script for this?
Is it possible to set such a script to run whenever the IP address changes?
Is it possible to extract the IP address from the email using a script on the receiving side?

Before I go try to learn something about VBA, I would just like to know if it is possible.

Thanks!
 
You could probably use a free dns address, like at DynDNS.org for instance. And then download a small program that auto updates the ip address in the DynDNS database when the computer connects.

Edit: link to the auto-update clients.
