I have a router and dynamic ISP. I generally use Serve-U 4. For awhile I was using dns2go so that I didn't have to see what my ip is (so I let the other party know) The main thing is forwarding the ports. If you use port 21 it should be just a simple click in a box on your router setup screen. If you want to use a different port then you need to open up a series of others so there will be enough sockets open. Dns2go is free, btw and it works well. Essentially it translates your dns2go address to whatever ip you've got showing from your isp.
Btw, I've also experienced the problem of not being able to understand how to set up the router. Particularly difficult for me was an SMC that I got rid of in favor of a BEFW11S4 v.2 Linksys. (4 ports/wireless). Linksys published a much better manual with this model and made some great enhancements to the setup menu.
