If the one you borrowed from a friend is the actual retail version and not some illegal download, then that should work just fine. I don't know what the legal issues might be with that though. The emulator is very sensitive about keeping everything on these forums perfectly legal to keep SoE from having any legal stand-point to shut down the project. So, while I do agree that the copy you have should work, I don't know if there are any issues with talking about getting the copy the way you did. It isn't quite as blatantly illegal as downloading the game, but it is probably still borderline.
Anyway, if you made the correct changes needed in your eqhost.txt file to connect to the public servers (port 5998 as AX already stated), then you should be able to connect.
