Yeah, they're behind a router that's using NAT, and the ISP (AT&T DSL)
uses a dynamic IP address.  Maybe next time I'm up there, I could set
up port forwarding for SSH and show them how to get their external IP
address off the router.

That being said, it looks like Kubuntu was able to configure
everything correctly out of the box, so I'm wondering if there might
be a better way to fix this (I haven't looked at how the hardware
auto-configuration works on Ubuntu).
