As long as you gracefully handle the error, so that no exception occurs, I don't think there will be any problem with your app. Put a try / catch construct around the code that is attempting to connect to the local server, and show an alert/warning after a given timeout to the user to inform them of the probem.
I hesitate to answer your second question, as it seems strange you have asked what an address/netmask is after you already seem to have an understanding of more advanced topics such as connecting to local webservers. Hence, please excuse me if I have missed your point:
"address" is the IP address. Every device connected to a TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address in order communicate with other devices.
"netmask" is used to differentiate between devices on local and remote networks. Those on a local network can be communicated with directly, but communications with those on remote networks must be routed via a gateway. You will find more information here, here and here.
According to the API docs, the two Ti.Platform properties are useful only when the device is connected to a wifi network. Use Ti.API.info('Address = '+Ti.Platform.address) and Ti.API.info('Netmask = '+Ti.Platform.netmask) to discover whether then are automatically set. Alternatively, try setting them using valid values such as Ti.Platform.address = '192.168.1.10' and Ti.Platform.netmask = '255.255.255.0' to see if they are writable.
Hope this helps
