I am running a second copy of SC on another computer and wish to access the IB data feed on this computer. The IP config address is assigned an internal IP address 192.168.------ by the router, while the external address is a different address.
Question is how to configure the Data/Trade Service Settings to access the TWS on this computer. Do I change the server address and port to the internal or external address? ie: 192.168 .n.n:7496?

Figured it out. Used the internal IP and had to assign a new Instance Client ID.

The Server Address needs to be the internal IP address if both of those computers are on the same internal network.
