I have DSL and it is a dynamic IP address. I am woundering if there is a free way I can get my domain to come to my computer?

I have the DynDNS.org service, but if you want to have a domain name come to it I think you need to pay.

Is there another FREE way?!

I never got the chance to try it (I received DNS with my hosting deal), but I was looking into http://www.hn.org for a while. Example 2 on this page seems to be what you want to do. Also, look at sample configuration #1 on this page.

DynDNS.org seems to charge a one-time fee of $30 (USD most likely) for its MyDynDNS Custom Service.
