Hey
I'm having the same issue. Basically whats happening is the server connects to the LS fine and shows up on the server list without problems. I click my server and click play and the screen turns to black for about 1-1 and a half minutes then boots me back to login. At first there is no error message but if you type your password in again and return to server select then an error pops up saying "Error 1017: Cannot login to the Everquest server. You may need to rerun the update patch. Repeatedly seeing this message indicates a loss of connectivity to the Patch Server. This is usually temporary." From here if i click "ok" i can select another server and i can login and play fine, just not my own.
Basically what you're saying Trev is that the new LS changes causes some sort of IP changing error when logging into you server from the same box the server is running on? Well i think i followed your directions correctly. I got a hold of my gateway IP and plugged it into the gm_ips table in the database. The table was originally completely empty. I plugged in the name, account id and then my gateway ip and tried again but nothing changed.
I should probably also note that world.exe doesn't change at all through the login process, it no longer says the usual "received connection from IP blah blah blah" as it usually does and instead just sits silent, as if it's not even receiving a connection. Don't know if that means anything or not.. lol
