Disconnecting

A remote user can disconnect from a NetPlay session using the Disconnect... command on the NetPlay menu. If a game is in progress, the remote user must first exit that game, thereby notifying the host that the game has been abandoned by the remote manager. When the remote user disconnects, the host is notified via a status message that appears in the chat area of the NetPlay window.

The host can end the NetPlay session using the End session... command on the NetPlay menu. If a game is in progress, the host must first exit that game (with or without saving the game for later completion), thereby notifying the remote manager that the game has been abandoned. When the host ends the session, the remote manager is notified via a status message that appears in the chat area of the NetPlay window.
