both the modem and the router have their own IP address, which do i use?
i've signed up for a free account with dyndns.org, and i've put those details into the router... but how do i access my computer?

Go into your router settings with the IP you have for this, and set the port forwarding to the machine you want to access, as I have said above.
The router should be able to update the actuall WAN IP to the dyndns if you have set this up correctly.
First try to access your router from the web - look at the remote access settings in the router).
What router have you got?
As a test, goto the command prompt (Start > Run > Type cmd).
The type "ping your_dynddns.dyndns.org" (loose the " ", and replace with your address!
You should see a line which says something like "pinging your_dyndns.org[81.38.120.234]" or similar.
If an IP appears in the [ ], you know the dyndns service is presenting your IP as required.
