If you have the GM IP restriction setup and are using the gm_ips table, there seems to have been a change in what IP the LS sends you to your server as if you are playing from the same LAN. It used to come in as my PC's LAN address of 192.168.1.101, but now it comes in as my router/gateway LAN address of 192.168.1.1.

An easy way to verify what IP you are being seen as now is to check the EQEmu web tool and lookup your GM account there in the database / account lookup. If you are running the latest web tool updates, it will now show your connecting IP information even if you don't get all of the way in. That is how I found that mine had changed. You could also just look in your accounts_ip table and check your connecting IPs that way.

I ran into a problem last night that was crashing my client while connecting due to whatever change on the LS that changed the IP that is sent to the server. Took me a few minutes to figure out, but once I added my gateway address to my gm_ips table, it started working just fine.

Hope this helps.
