This requires outside machines to be able to connect to your server on
port 80 by default. It's fairly common for ISPs to block port 80
specifically because they don't want you to run servers.

The above doesn't make any sense to me. I have no idea which "machine"
you're talking about, for example. And dyndns doesn't have anything to
do with routing.

My crystal ball says that if you use another port than 80 (e.g. 8080),
then it may work just fine.
Of course, a static IP would probably work as well, not by its nature
but because your ISP probably doesn't block port 80 for their static IPs
(since that would defeat the main purpose of having a static IP).
