If you had an exception, I'm not sure how excited I'd be to tell the Mrs that she may be occasionally tested if we got one.
I'm back playing again and really enjoying it and the wife looking over my shoulder is starting to get that Norrathain gleam in her eye so this thread caught my attention.
Is it a lot of trouble to play with someone else on your own LAN in P1999 or his our OP a fairly unique situation? I'm enjoying my time and not going anywhere but if my wife wanted to roll her enchantress again I'd like to set some expectations for her.

They are pretty strict, but lots of people have IP exceptions with their spouse and aren't suspected of boxing.
As a rule of thumb, I'd just always think of the "Butt's in the Computer Seats" rule. If she's AFK using the restroom, don't reach over and hit her keyboard to land a heal/nuke.
You'll be tempted to log into your wife's character to do simple things like an EC transfer, or running her to your group to throw a few buffs - but those things are still considered boxing and people get caught for those little infractions all the time. They'll nuke your accounts in those cases and tell you you are welcome to reroll with new accounts. Some couples do, some don't.
I wouldn't worry too much about OP's post. It feels Sus to me. If you are concerned though, you can both have Discord up and be ready to both pop into one of the P1999 server voice channels instantly. But if she's playing an enchanter likely she's going to be moving constantly. Two players that move constantly don't get pulled in to be tested.
Good luck and happy gaming =)
