Just a player, no server involved [1017 error]

[akellard]

Apologies in advance if my question has been answered before, but I'm not having any luck finding it by searching the board. The help with 1017 errors seems to be mainly for people running servers and I'm more interested in playing on the current servers.


Problem: I've set up everything exactly how the Readme suggested for players, using EQW (the latest version) and updated the eqhost.txt with the one from Eqemu's site. However, when I manage to login, get to the server select screen and try to connect to -any- server, I get the this error [see image below]...

I'm using Windows ME and have patched Everquest up fully. I've restarted my PC numerous times and it still comes up with the same problem. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your time.
