It is quite simple. You just install NTFS Configuration Tool.
Description:

Enable/disable write support for any NTFS devices
This program allow you to easily configure all of your NTFS devices to allow write support via a friendly gui. For that use, it will configure them to use the open source ntfs-3g driver. You’ll also be able to easily disable this feature.

Ubuntu – Install client for dynamic DNS service no-ip.com
Linux August 21st, 2008
It provides the No-IP.com Dynamic DNS update client.
When configured correctly, the client will check the local IP address at a given time interval. If it has changed, the client will notify No-IP.com DNS servers and update the IP address for your No-IP/No-IP+ host name.
It is quite simple to install it like other. In the Synaptic Pakeage Manager, search with the key word: noip2
then right click on it and choose Mark for Installation. Then Apply.
Next step, you just need to provide no-ip username and password, that all. Certainly, you can provide more information, just follow its instruction.
To start it, in the terminal: type “sudo noip2″
And it should be noted that you should remember to “open port”/or create port forwarding (ex 80) before to make your domain.no-ip works properly. You can find out many articles about it on the Net.
Tips: Go to http://canyouseeme.org to check you have done or yet.
Done!
