get ssh to connect with out password

[Daevid Vincent]

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?
