As you read this, bear in mind that I don't know that this will solve everyone's problems (or anyone's, for that matter), but it might help.
I just encountered the 1017 error myself for the first time while trying to connect multiple clients to a LAN-hosted server, but I think I know what caused it and have already remedied it (my LAN server is once again functioning just fine).
Here's what happened. I just aquired the newest version of Ariak's database (thanks to those who pointed me in the right place to get it). I switched to it (from an older version of Ariak's database) and suddenly I was getting 1017's. I started up
EQEmu Admin Tool v2.4 and noticed something different immediately. The "eqemu" account was NOT in the database, as it had been in the version of Ariak's database that I had prior to the problem. I added the "eqemu" account by hand with
Admin Tool (made the id
1, name
eqemu, password
eqemu, status
200, and left the last entry blank (what is that last entry, by the way? Anyone care to enlighten me?)). I then rebooted (which unfortunately may have been what fixed my problem, but I'm hoping not, for the sake of others out there), started up
minilogin.exe,
world.exe, and
Boot5zones.Win9x.bat, then logged both of my PC's into the server. No more problems.
Moral of the story: make sure the "eqemu" account is in your database prior to attempting to log into your LAN server. And as a reference to my other settings (db.ini, eqhost.txt, etc.), I point you to

I hope this helps some people
