remote access - Finding IP address of a PC when it changes by making some setting

I have a shared PC at a remote place on the LAN. I usually work on it using remote desktop connection. Sometimes the IP address of the PC gets changed when someone accidentally or intentionally unplugs and re-plugs the ethernet cable. In that case, it is necessary to go to the PC physically to get the new IP which sometimes is inconvenient for me.


Is there any setting that I can make on the PC so that I can find the new IP address from some other machine? The OS installed is Ubuntu on the shared computer and I have root access to it.
