Ok I totally started from scratch again tryin to get my server running publicly..and I still get 1017 when I try to login. Alhough I can still get in using localhost in place of all IP's

Ok I followed Jezebell's guide here although Govtcheese's lootdrop file link apeares to be broken so I skipped that step.

Heres my world.exe output:

Also noticed that when I tried to logon it was listed as 0.5.5...should it be DR1 or something?

Any help? Ah yes one more thing: I already used search for 2 hours at least tried to make sure I could fix before I posted.
