Error 1017.... Yes ive read the other 1017 posts

[n0id]

Im using the 5.0 guide in the "guide" section.

Everythings running great up to the "run eq" part.

i can see all the servers in the server list....can connect to everyones except my own...so i know its something wth my server.

ive disabled my firewall....cable modem running thru my linksys router.

ive set up all the files in the build dir just like the guide says.


i load up world.exe....runs fine.....then load boot5zones.exe...runs fine (as far as i can tell)

but when i click to load into my server, i get the 1017 error everytime.

Just curious what i can do about this.


Now this also may be a very stupid question, but does EQ + expansions + patched to live need to be somwhere on the sys thats running the server software.....Im guesing it does...but it does not say this anywhere in the guide.

Im willing to bet this is my problem, so i just need to know where it needs to be installed to be on my way

If its not...then i need a few quick tips to fixing my 1017 error....



Thanks a bunch .........one last step to fix and im off in eqland
