You have two IP addresses to worry about. The laptop internal address (it sounds like that was what changed and that's what I posted about above) and the external IP address (that's what jlutes was posting about). You have to keep both from changing. The first is controlled by assigning the laptop a static IP or telling your router to always assign the same IP to the MAC of your laptop's network card. The second is controlled by using a domain name to access the external address (or paying for a static external address).
Following jlute's instructions won't help you if your laptop's ip internal address changed. I suggest you start by getting control of your internal address. Once that's under control, then worry about the external address issue.
