If you're going to be running the only client on the same PC as the server software, you can just use 127.0.0.1 for all of the IP address settings (i.e. don't use the box's network IP).
Don't know if that's applicable to you, but when I was trying to get set up using a client on the same box as the server, using the box's network IP instead of 127.0.0.1 or localhost in any of the config files either gave me a 1017 or else the ever evil "unknown error".
