Has anyone found a way to use their web interface add on outside of their home network? I also would love to know a way to assign the Apple TV a static IP so that the parents don't have to figure out the new local IP address, or if there is a known way to login using your external IP address that would be the best.
thank you

Both would be done on your router. Set up a static IP on the router, and then forward whatever port XBMC is using for the web UI (port 8080 or 80, normally).

DynDNS has a client you can run on your PC or routers support it too, but I just run the client on my machine cause before I think my router didnt do it so well way back when. I also use static IP addressing via my router and keep all my devices DHCP.
