trying to set up my own server (not LAN) i went through the steps in the readme, set up all the stuff, and it shows my server on the select screen. but i cant log into it, (1017error). note: EQW is not working, and im running the eqemu patcher to run eqemu instead. please any help would be much appreciated.

Same problem here
 

I am in the same situation here.
Select server
Hit the play everquest button
Screen goes black, then comes back to server select.
I get the following error

I am running the server on a LAN, but disabled the XP Firewall just incase. Didn't make any difference though.

Any advice appreciated.

That is what I'm getting with all of the servers when I try to join one.

same error
 

I am getting the same error also...I finally gave up cause I couldn't figure out a solution and no one seems to post it here or don't know

I have posted the fixes about 15 times already. If all else fails, don't use XP. The fixes are all over the place.

a_Guest03, you may have posted what you think the fix is, but it is not working. Please don't presume that we haven't already read your posts. I for one have been through the posts in both General and Win32 forums looking for (and attempting) fixes. Telling us not to use WinXP if all else fails is not a valid solution to the problem.

This problem may only exist for WinXP users (and not all of them it seems), but it doesn't mean it isn't any less of a problem.

I did a search for your fixes...none of them worked. I am using windows xp on my laptop and I can get into eqemu fine and play.
just can't get in local. I downloaded and set eqemu for a local server on my desktop to..which is running win 98 and it gives me the same error also

From what internet connection did you get your laptop patched, Parrin? Was it from your same home line? Also, did you try to patch them on different days?

I have patched them both (desktop and laptop) diffrent days...I have patched the laptop from my work connection and from home...home is cox at home cable modem..and at work we have a t1.

Don't know for sure :? Try taking home PC to work on the weekend for a patch. :juggle:
