error 1017 after selecting server

Firstly, set your EQHOSTS.TXT to read only

Then, set all possible addresses to 127.0.0.1 (as below), test it, if it works start migrating addresses 1 by 1 back to the address you would like and see at which point it fails. You should then be able to do a more specific search of the forums to assist more.

MINILOGINACCOUNTS.INI
127.0.0.1 eqemu eqemu

Ensure all acocunts in the 'accounts' table have therir MINILOGIN_IP address set to 127.0.0.1 also, and ensure there is an 'eqemu' account with password 'eqemu' and minilogin_ip set to 127.0.0.1 (refer minilogin instructions in the forums)

This allowed me to get in standalone, now the fun part of migrating the addresses over 1 by 1,,, and finding out where exactly the problem is.

Hope this helps a little.
