I have a linux server that I run.  It's down now since I'm upgrading to a duel processor/RDRAM system.  I can run it off this machine for the time being.  It's usually up 24/7 (unless my power goes out or if Comcast takes a crap) and the IP doesn't change much but we don't have to use IPs, we can use domain names which change as my IP changes.   I usually do WebTV hacking and run my website on it.  There is a TS server for Linux I can try but this is up to you guys.  The game hosting company you guys go with may have TS rentals unless we're all going to start out running this on a home network?

The 192.168.X IPs are class C private addresses which means they can't be used on the internet.
