Error 1017 after Server Select

[trevius]

Well, I think I finally got my issue fixed for good! I hope anyway...

After I moved EQ to a PC connected directly to my router via cable, I was still unable to connect. I then had to assume it was a network issue. I plugged the ethernet cable directly into the modem, and BAM, eqemu started working... The only reason I didn't test that in the first place was because my main PC is wireless and isn't near my modem. Anyway, once I deduced that the issue was with the router, I did searching directly for Linksys issues, and the first thread I found was able to fix my issue.


From this thread, I found the following quote from Angelox:

"another thing, are you using a Linksys router? did you clear all the fields in the ports you were redirecting? Linksys gets buggy and does strange things , I've had to reset my router completely in order to get it to work properly - it looks like your are not connecting at all to the log in server?
Also, sometimes ISPS block all your ports and just let you use browser ports."

I cleared all of the ports, but that didn't work. I wound up finally having to use the small reset button on the back to set it back to factory defaults.

So, thanks once again Angelox, you indirectly resolved my issue!

I will post more if I have any further troubles, but lets just hope that doesn't happen...

I am having this same problem while trying to connect to the stormhaven server. I can connect to other servers and play without an issue. The really strange thing is that I was just playing on the server last night. I have made it to the character select screen from time to time, but it disconnects and returns to the login screen when I try to "enter" with a character.

I have followed through this post and tried almost everything that was suggested without success. I am running through a wireless connection and the router is the DSL modem. Nothing has changed on my end since last night. It seems to me that it must be something on the server side??

If anyone has found anything else I can try to fix this I would greatly appreciate some help. I can't wait to get back to playing on StormHaven!!

Hmm, this might be better to discuss on the Storm Haven forums. I don't know why you would be having an issue with it. I did have some issues a few days back, but they should have been resolved well before you posted this. If other servers work fine and you only have problems on SH, then it is probably something specific to the server connection or your account/characters on the server.

I haven't seen any issues with players getting on in the past few days. I would guess that maybe there were internet routing issues between you and the server. If this problem still exists, let me know (preferably on the SH forums), and I will see if I can help more. My guess is that you aren't having a problem connecting anymore. The issue probably resolved itself and doesn't seem related to the issue in this thread at all.

I am glad you are enjoying the server

Thanks Trevius for responding.
I tried last night to connect, and it worked!... I did nothing else to it so it must have been something odd on the server side.
My symptoms were exactly as yours in your first post, with the exception that it seemed to be only happening with the Storm Haven server.
On another note, I've been trying to start an account on the Storm Haven forum boards but (after a few attempts ) still havn't gotten my confirmation email. So I posted here.
Again, keep up the great work !! I love the server!
