how to change the address used by my project in VS to connect to TFS

I have several projects in VS and they all are under source control in microsoft team foundation.
Now the IP address of our TFS has changed.
In VS I have managed to add a new connection to the new IP address, and I am able to connect with it.

But my projects keep trying to connect to the old server address, how can I tell VS to use the new address for existing projects ?

Or is there a way to modify the TFS connection ?

for example
the projects are all connecting to TFS at 192.0.137.100
They should now connect to TFS at 192.168.137.100

How can I do that ?

EDIT
I found that in the .sln files there is always an entry like this 

SccTeamFoundationServer = http://192.0.137.100:8080/tfs/defaultcollection

would it be safe to just alter these files ?

The solution for me was to edit the .slnfiles.

So first step is to add the new IP address in VS and connect to it
Then alter the .sln file and correct the ip address

SccTeamFoundationServer = http://192.0.137.100:8080/tfs/defaultcollection

becomes

SccTeamFoundationServer = http://192.168.137.100:8080/tfs/defaultcollection

Now open VS and open your project
I was now able to use TFS again

Repeat this for every project
