get ssh to connect with out password

[Tobias Speckbacher]

The username is irrelevant, it relies on the public/private key pair
matching.
You just have to use ssh user at host1 when on host2 and ssh user at host2
when on host1.

You can ssh from your notebook to your home server using this,
regardless of how you access the network with it.

I wanted to try this, but realized two things that are blocking me.

1st, my username on the two machines is different. Is there a way to
handle
that?

My notebook gets a dynamic IP from a DHCP server at work.
My home server is static.
I want to ssh from notebook (at work) to home server. Is that possible?
