1017 not new but troubling

[Traveler]

Ok, first, I keep getting error 1017 as most are. Although I reinstalled EQ several times and patched them. Latest one was today, 4/14/03.
Perhaps a new patch made it impossable to start EQ now, not sure.

My stats, as requested some time ago.
AMD 1700+ XP
256 ram, yea, low but hey it works.
gforce4
all the extras. ok,, it allworks fine and good.. so will stop with the listings except to say am using win 98se. Yea, perhaps not the best, but can't afford XP or others.

Got mysql setup and running fine. No problems there that I can see. Created and got the db.sal file all setup and installed as directed by the readme files. Ok, no problems there as of yet.

Finnaly got password error fixed so I can use minilogin. It loads up fine. below is its listing.

{mini login shows this, yes, I removed the minilogin.ini}


LoginServer.ini read.
Couldn't open the MiniLoginAccounts.ini file.

I have used and changed localhost to 127.0.0.1 many time, even tried the 192,168.0.0 bit, no good...

Keep getting the OLD 1017 error after selecting server. Yea, my server shows in the list. I would list my *.ini files, but they are all good as I have searched many topics and they all look as mine do, well except for username and password,, lol..... So I do not think those are it.

Like I mentioned above, perhaps the new patch for EQ made it none working? Never played EQ online before, just got the program a few days ago and decided to try my luck on setting up my own server. I have and still run my own server for UO, been doing that for a few years now. And it works flawlessly. So I do know a LITTLE of networking and such. Just this has got me stumped.

Thanks
