That patchsrv.dat file you described - that's downloaded from a site using eqemu patcher. If it doesn't download, there is an ISP problem. You didn't finish the patch.
While this may not seem to affect your internal network, it has everything to do with your 1017 error. Your server requires a version of eqclient that you do not have. Thus, your server will reject you. Patching fails, so you're stuck! It's your ISP. Patch the client on a different ISP. People say AOL works... Might be time to pull a frisbee from the mailbox.
