You need access to a network that supports 15-30 mbps of multicast traffic - or you'll need to use a multicast tunnel that is located on a multicast enabled network (AG Bridge, rcBridge). In order to "meet" with others in the current AG community, you'll need access to a network that peers with the networks that other AG nodes use - certainly access to the Abilene backbone will get you connected to these folks (http://abilene.internet2.edu/).
When you install the AG software, it will take you through a process to "get" a certificate - first to make the request and then to retrieve the certificate, after ANL has "granted" it.
