I'd go with Steve's suggestion (versus changing shortcuts), but while 
you're there, instead of configuring for the IP address of the 
server, I'd use the hostname of the server.  Configuring Mill clients 
to point to an IP address instead of hostname is just begging for 
more work down the road.  (Unless, of course, you frequently change 
hostnames and the IP address remains relatively constant.)

Note that although the arg that Steve points to says "ip=", it will 
accept the IP address or the server name.

BTW, if your campus IT folks use something like LANDesk, they should 
be able to push out a change like this from the comfort of their cubicles.
