And checking the network configuration files of that server and game release gives me just 127.0.0.1 and 0.0.0.0. The only source of information about running one's own server and client on the same PC that I have on hand comes from the oDo Re release on the BD section. But it's far from complete with specifics for 'dummies' like me. I merely asked for information that I assume can be used by anybody without having to deal with complicated network settings since you are basically connecting to a server run on the same PC which I don't know how to do and the guide doesn't really put in detailed explanations at all. The guide itself doesn't explicitly specify that as it's intended result from the point of view of an average user like me with little to no knowledge of server emulation. I asked for what LAN and WAN IP that can be used to keep the server isolated on the same PC the client is going to run from (a.k.a. I at least know that I probably don't have to open my ISP just to play offline. Some say there's a private one, some say a public one, or one from an ISP.

I don't even know where to start about getting my WAN IP. But as you can see on the text quoted from the guide above, it doesn't say if it will work for an isolated offline play environment instead of opening the server to outside connections. I at least understand that LAN IP seems to be the IPv4 address on my Ethernet connection, most probably the local IP the guide mentions a couple of times. Many of us just want to play alone in our man-caves and just know how to click and run. Not everyone who goes to these forums are looking to set up a private server for others to play with, having all the know-how from the very start. Not everybody knows which is the LAN IP and WAN IP to use that isn't going to cause them to accidentally open up their network to hacking online. It doesn't help when Google Search always throws information related to OPENING the network connection to other people when you search for LAN and WAN IP for offline play.

I can understand that I have to find my local IP (a simple Google Search can help with that) but you need to understand that not everybody is Network Configuration Terms savvy and can understand which is which. She just said the following (note: I will exclude unrelated stuff regarding my post): FYI nowhere in Ashley's guide did it say which LAN and WAN IPs are meant for solo offline play. How nice of you to assume I didn't read the guide many times over before posting my question or even tried Google Translating the Chinese ReadMe text file.
