    I don't know which it is, and I need to override the default behavior for my game. Also, why is it being reverted in the first place? I would like a better understanding of this, as it is an integral part of the game's structure.

    when you call NetworkManager.StartClient(), it uses NetworkManager.networkAddress...

    Yes, I realize this. What I want to know is what the manager is checking that causes it to automatically revert to localhost if the desired address cannot be used. I would imagine its a try-catch of some exception, but I could be wrong. The reason why I need to know this is because I would rather the game tell the user that the address cannot be used instead of auto-starting a localhost server for them. I now understand why my address isn't working though (lack of NAT punchthrough capabilities), but hopefully that will be resolved in phase 2.
