Actually, you can just use the IP# they give you on the work order and use 
ifconfig eth1 24.179.164.140 broadcast 24.179.164.255 netmask 
255.255.255.0. They claim its dynamic, but its really just a Static IP. The 
Hostname doesn't even seem to matter, although I've got a Motorola 
Surfboard 4100 (I picked it up at Circuit City)...  And, they don't seem to 
be blocking port 80 yet in Lansing. I have apache running on my machine and 
its accessible from the outside.
