Add shard to list and packet questions

Greetings all,
I had two questions if anyone knows:
1) I could not find a place to add my shard. If I missed an obvious button my apologies. Is there a tutorial somewhere? I couldn't find it on search.
2) This one is trickier. In HardwareInfo.cs the spy on client packet is supposed to be defined, here
public static void Initialize()
{
PacketHandlers.Register(0xD9, 0x10C, false, OnReceive);

CommandSystem.Register("HWInfo", AccessLevel.GameMaster, HWInfnCommand);
}
I believe that the packet number is wrong, since once you run the command it never fills in the structure to display it (gives null) and the message "No hardware information for that account was found.".
Packet id 0xD9 shows in the POL packets list but it is not the right one. Does anyone have any idea how to make HardwareInfo work?
What is the correct packet number?

Thanks in advance for your time.

1. Membership
2. The packet is redundant and has not been used for a long time.

Thanks Voxpire.
For question number 2, we've been hit by vpn attackers nonstop since we started 3 years ago, so I asked as to add another layer of unique identification (other than the ips).
Is there something I missed from the packets that could uniquely determine the client connecting to the shard? or it is not possible to do this? Thanks

It isn’t really possible without modifying the client significantly. You can firewall common vpn exit nodes using CIDR lists provided by some hosts (ask your provider).
The first 4 bytes (seed) of any UO client logging in is usually representative of the real remote IP for the connection, you can potentially use that to match against known IPs.
