Begin Line Operation (Expert)
The expert mode for beginning New Line Operations allows you to have more control over your Line Operations session, i.e. playing on a LAN or over the Internet (WAN). Also note that when you use the Expert mode, other players can only connect to your sessionwhen they know your server details
From the Begin Expert tab, select Query IP Address.
Choose your IP address. If on a LAN, select your 192.168.X.X address. Use 127.0.0.1 if you want to connect two simulations on the same computer. You probably want to use a WAN address, which will allow other people to connect to you via the Internet. To do so, choose Detect to determine your WAN address.
When you have selected your IP address, choose Use.
The Start! button should now have a green border, indicating that your connection information is valid.
The rest of the simulation starting procedure remains the same.
Manually Joining a Line Operation
From the Join Expert tab, enter the server code given to you by the person you are connecting to.
Choose Query IP Address.
Choose your IP address. If on a LAN, select your 192.168.X.X address. Use 127.0.0.1 if you want to connect two simulations on the same computer. You probably want to use a WAN address, which will allow other people to connect to you via the Internet. To do so, choose Detect to determine your WAN address.
When you have selected your IP address, choose Use.
The Start! button should now have a green border, indicating that your connection information is valid.
For layouts with more than one Line Operation connection, that is, more than one neighbour, you must indicate which connection you wish to make.
If connecting was successful, your simulation will start.
