This has me a little > confused as they tell me my ip address is 71.30.117.2 Each end of the "wire" has an address. They see their end as being the "router" and the port being used for you is the "...1" address. Your end of the wire is the "...2" address. Their IP address is usefull If you changed the network-scripts on your side (or used the GUI on your X desktop to do it) to include the static address on your end of the wire, added DNS name server IPs to resolve.conf, you should be OK.
