I'm running a local development server for testing purposes. I'm connected to the internet via a local broadband provider and do not have a fixed IP address. I've installed Reporting Services on my server. Here's the problem: if at a given moment in time my IP address is "217.136.173.73" then the reports list can be retrieved via:

http://217.136.173.73/reports/Pages/Folder.aspx

When I click on a report Reporting Services uses a fixed base URL to locate the reporting server "http://analyz-it-srv01/ReportServer/...". Offcourse analyz-it-srv01 is the local name of my server and this is not know on the internet. So I'd like Repoting services to automatically use "http://217.136.173.73/ReportServer/..." ...

How can this be accomplished?

Goto http://www.dyndns.org/services/dyndns/ and download the Dynamic DNS client. It will allow you to create a personal domain name and the client on your machine will update the name server with your dynamic IP address so you can use a known hostname. The software and registration is free.
