Error 1017

Using port 5997 I finally got my server "Tribunal" to the server select screen. Everytime I try to enter the server I get the message, Error 1017: Cannot login to the Everquest server. You may need to re-run the updatch patch. Repeatedly seeing this message indicates a loss of connectivity to the Patch Server. This is usually temporary. Any suggestions?

Happening with my server as well - I dunno why.

Just letting you know you're not alone in waiting for this answer

if it's a personal server for just your computer, make it port 5999

I dunno if your behind a firewall or not, but I figured out what I was doing wrong.

I had all the TCP ports open, but not all the UBD ports. Open those and you should be good to go.

Can you please explain UBD ports and how to open and close them? Thanks

Their different dependant on your Firewall - and I really dunno how to open them, my Father did it for me

.

I'll try to remember to ask him how and post it.

Thanks. My network consists of a Linksys 4 port router sharing a cable modem.
