So you actually call if-up with static in the /etc/interfaces file?
If thats the case you're going to set your /etc/hostname to the one they
gave you and make sure /etc/hosts has aliases to whatever name you want
to call your machine locally.
127.0.0.1 theirname whateveryouwant
If it's a "static" ip from dhcp protocol then you are going to need to
add an option in your /etc/network/interfaces file to the effect of:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
hostname whateveryouwant
--mike
