I have a server running windows 2003 at my office. My internet provider made us switch our ip address from static to dhcp, and now I cant remote desktop onto the server from home. Not sure if I should get a different service provider, or should I change the settings on the server, and if I do what problems may this cause?

Download and install DynDNS. It is a Godsend. It will keep your address up to date with your IP by scanning for changes. You'll need to register an account and all you'll have to do is connect to that address.
