Casually point out to your coworker that you cannot login to the network and you are waiting for the IS guy to fix it. Tell them that you're going to a different desk until its fixed and then disappear.
Bring in an old coat or jacket and leave it at your chair (perhaps with other unneeded personal belongings) and then leave to pick up a print job and never return.
Report that your tooth is now bothering you and you MUST see the dentist NOW. (this is better than a faked ankle sprain as you do not need to wear a bandage the next day).
Open up a technical manual to a page either with a large table or a schematic on it and then place the receiver of the phone next to it on the desk. Make sure the computer has an application open somewhat related to the tech manual page before you leave.
If these aren't for you... put fake vomit on your desk. Everyone will assume you have more important things to do.

1. Start a pattern of walking around the office with a notepad like you are going to a meeting or doing something busy.
2. Make sure that you interact with many different people in different locations around the office.
3. When people come to your desk looking for you, coworkers will get in the habit of saying "He/she is over talking to so and so."
4. Over time, like Pavlov's dog, coworkers will get use to you not being around durning the last hour of work, and will assume that you are talking with some other coworker or at some other meeting.
5. Enjoy the 5 hours of extra freedom!
(Advanced method: follow this pattern and apply it to arriving to work, leaving for lunch, returning from lunch and leaving work to achieve a very pleasant situation of working 20hrs and getting paid for 40hrs. Viola!)

Walk into your boss' office with a kitten in hand and threaten to nail it to the floor if they don't let you leave early.
Be sure to keep the kitten around in weeks to come in case they think you were joking.

Work through lunch, if you don't get paid for lunch.
If you already get paid for lunch, I can't think of anything.
Good luck!
