My local computer has a fixed url address in the 192.168.etc series which does not change.This allows me to access my router. My router in turn connects to my internet modem which works with my internet provider,in my case comcast.net. This latter connection is DHCP I am pretty sure.

Nope not necessarily. My cable modem addresses changes even though
my system is typically up for years. 

You could have your machine go to an outside machine and read the IP
from there.

Probably by port forwarding.

Do you really expect that much traffic?
