You need your client to allocate fixed IP addresses to all PCs in the group.

MySQL server has to have ip routing enabled...

1) Don't put your computer or services on the internet unless you know how to secure it.

2) If you need to connect machines over the internet, do so over a VPN connection on a static IP or one of the dynamic DNS service like you mentioned (although they may take time to reconnect if your IP addresses change).

3) You should configure the firewall on your server machine to pass through the needed ports for your application (mysql is 3306).
