If you don't have a static IP on one of the machines, an alternative is to use a (possibly free) dynamic DNS service which continuously maps a name (eg. elliot.dyndns.org, or whatever you choose and hasn't already been taken) to the dynamically assigned IP provided by your ISP.
Most home routers (at least my netgear does) support dynamic dns with an automatic function: Whenever the router detects that it has been given a new IP, it forwards that to the dynamic dns service. In the router configuration, you enable dynamic dns and specify which dynamic dns provider you are using.
I do this for my home, so I can log into it from work. I use dyndns.org, which is free.
