I have had my cable connection for 4 months and my IP has never changed although it is a dynamic IP.

i own a belkin F5D6230 wireless router. in the configuration there is the option (virtual server) to redirect ports to internal ips, but i've had no luck with this. i'm trying to make a stream server, and i would like to open port 8000 and redirect it to a pc on my internal network. the user-manual of the router says that the "virtual server" option works only with a fixed ip, which i don't have, but i've read elsewhere this isn't true. should i be able to redirect the port even with a dynamical ip? is there any way i can make my streaming server accessibile from the internet? thanks
