    Me and my friend use the same account on two different computers so two different ip's, how would we work it so there is a lower chance of getting all of the accounts iced. If we abed on one computer and transfered the items to the other would that be effective. And does anyone know if they chain ice on multiple ip's, as in if the frozen account logged in on both computers they chain ice on both?

    Yes, they can chain freeze on multiple IPs. The reason it's called 'chain' is because there will have been a 'link' between each account. This link doesn't have to be the same IP address. It can just be that items/np are transfered between the accounts regularly. What you have to remember is that TNT can monitor ALL of your activity.
    To reduce the chances of drawing attention to yourselves, I would access only certain accounts on your computer and only certain other accounts on your friends. Like I say, this will reduce the chances of bringing yourselves to their attention, but if you're transfering a lot, they may notice anyway.

    Chain icing either works with having a lot of accounts under the same IP address, or having a lot of connections between the same accounts. Say if you transfer a rare item often with two accounts, it may arouse suspicions, so it could lead to chain icing. Be careful!

    Thanks. I guess to avoid it you just have to not make the same connections over and over between any accounts..

    I have 3 accounts on my IP:

    Main and 2 spares. What is the chance of me getting caught by the IP?

    It doesn't matter how many you have. If one gets caught doing something illegal and they can connect all 3 of them, they are all toast.
