Any way to do this from via software or hardware on my end?
If the IP is dynamic then there isn't really a way to technically do this without working with your ISP.

Depending on the reason why you want the static IP, there may be ways around it. For instance with http://www.dyndns.com/ you might be able to have your home machine referenceable by using their domain service which will always point a domain to your dynamic IP.

What about other people that I want to block from viewing my site that have a dynamic ip address? Anyway to do this?

Thanks!
I'm not sure I understand. You can block any IP or any subnet using most software. You may also only allow requests from a certain IP or IP range as well. May I ask what you are wanting to do exactly so that I better understand?
