Hey Cotton, glad to hear you fixed the problem. I wrote my suggestions in a hurry since I was on the way out the door so sorry if I wasn't too clear with them. Here's a bit more explanation to the ones you mentioned just so anyone else who reads through this thread for their own connection problems is clear on them...
What I meant here is if you enter the wrong password you shouldn't have to wait 20 minutes to try again. That delay you were experiencing was probably due to bad connection settings. UO isn't like the forums where if you enter the wrong password 5 times you have a 15 minute 'cool down period' before you can log in, even if you get the password right on the 6th try. So again, any delay you were experiencing was not due to some safety feature on INX, but probably the result of bad connection settings.
Basically I was saying if you haven't connected after 30 seconds there's something wrong with your connection settings so don't wait 5+ minutes hoping it will go through because from my experience it won't.
Like I said I wasn't sure if Razor would 'overwrite' the login file so I just wanted to make sure you had the right info here, or that you might in fact replace the login file.
Ah ok then just wanted to make sure you knew it wouldn't have an effect.
Assuming you wrote this forum thread from the same computer you have UO on, I doubt it was the router settings since you can get online with that computer. As you mentioned, most N wireless routers can do a simultaneous G and N broadcast, some even do B, G, and N all at the same time. You just have to find the setting.
I have a slightly older model Wireless N Linksys router and in the Wireless tab I have a setting called 'Network Mode' and my options are; Mixed, BG-Mixed, Wireless-B Only, Wireless-G Only, Wireless-N Only, or Disabled.
I personally think it's the fact your brother was logged on. INX has a 1 account per IP limit, so if you didn't talk with Taran when you and your brother last played, any connection attempt by a second account is blocked. Taran has to make an exception for multiple accounts to be connected from the same IP at once. If this is the case don't worry, you can both still play. Just ask Taran what proof he needs that you really have a brother and you both play and you aren't just trying to cheat the system to get a second account on haha.

There is for me. That's sort of the point of this entire thread.

Again, I have to wait 5+ minutes for any sort of response from the client. This is my problem.

For Server enter 'inx.xs4all.nl' (without the ' ') and for Port enter '2593' (without the ' '). If that doesn't do it you might have to actually replace the login file.
As I said in my first post, all of the Razor information is correct. I've checked over it countless times.

Cotton Wrote:Eighty Swords Wrote:I don't think any of the extra files like the statics, hue, etc will affect your login, ingame just look good.
I was merely stating the order in which I installed the files/prepared the client to log onto the shard so that people helping me could rule out that as a potential problem.
