Nope, but you can install a DYNDNS application on your server machine to assign a Domain name for it :)

Google for Dynamic DNS, or even better NO-IP

i guess that wont help me, i have seen server/client based cafe application that auto detect's server's IP, but really have to look how it works

If all you have is a port number, than you only can scan a range of IPs for that port, and if you find an open one, you send some kind of authentication message to that port, and if Server responds that is your Server. I cannot think of a better solution.

This is the best way you can do it.

Download NO-IP application and install it. It is free. It will automatically update your IP address and assign it to your domain name. Everything is free. Why dont you try it?

Once you set it up, you use a domain name instead of IP.

ill give it a try . . . .

is this internet or local network?

Lets say it is internet I am interested too how it's done, i don't think it is possible.
