No... you would only change the IP address in VCC.

I've added a diagram to the Ports documentation in the DW4 wiki. Maybe
it will help clear things up?

I think maybe you're not understanding that the server IP and port the
UI uses to talk to the server is an entirely different thing than the
server IP and port that VCC uses to talk to an instance on the server.
 They will never be the same, as they are different processes
entirely.  If you're doing everything on one computer they will both
use localhost or 127.0.0.1 as the server IP, but the ports will always
be different.

You could run all three parts on different computers.  For instance,
maybe you want to run the server on a tiny Raspberry Pi with address
192.168.1.10, the UI on your Windows computer with address
192.168.1.20, and VCC on another machine with address 192.168.1.30.
In this case, the UI would have a server setting of 192.168.1.10 port
6800, and VCC would have a server setting of 192.168.1.10 port 65504.
The DriveWire server itself doesn't need to know any of the client's
addresses in any case.
