Just some config stuff right now for my minilogin attempts (which always fail and come back to the server select screen with the 1017 error):

Yes, I have tried changing all the instances of 'localhost' to 127.0.0.1 and to my machine's router-IP (192.168.0.196) to no avail. I have also killed all firewall settings aside from the router box -> outside internet one when trying the minilogin. (Both XP-firewall and ZoneAlarm). The strange thing is, the 1017 error occurs AFTER EverQuest loads, right when the Character Select screen would load. I have tried dropping the DB, bringing it back in mySQL and running the 'import.bat' file that comes with Lurker's spawnpoint files.. the strange thing is this DID work for a time, and after a failed attempt at getting this working over LAN, it now doesn't, yet the settings now are (as far as I'm aware) the exact same as before.

System specs if it helps:
Pentium 4 @ 1.8 GHz
Gigabyte GA-8ITXE motherboard w/ 256MB ECC-RDRAM
Leadtek WinFast GeForce 2 Pro 64MB DDR
Creative Sound Blaster Live! Platinum
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
