It is a problem. Certain home solutions--Windows XP Internet Connection
Sharing, for example, don't allow this to be changed. Others--hardware
routers, have it as a default, but it is changeable.
It may be easier to change it at work, but as you say--that involves many
devices.
I'm not certain that there is no workaround but I don't know how to do
it--perhaps others reading can add input?
