Default 1017 client connection errors, FIXED!

Hey folks, need some help - not sure what is going on. I did some research and read dozens of threads and almost everything that comes up from googling:

site:www.eqemulator.org 1017 error

Is old and archived, and nothing seems to show how to resolve it.

Here is what changed:

I worked on resolving an issue with getting my private login server working: see this thread for final changes made today:

Found here

I also, in an effort to fix the food and drink issues many seem to be having and we are, I changed the max stack size for Iron Rations & Chocolate Milk to 1000.

That's it...

Symptoms:

I as the server owner can connect without issue, and play and everything is fine, I can connect to the server via my private login server and also via eqemu's login server - no issues.

Every other player/client trying to connect, including my wife sitting next to me gets a black screen, both through eqemu's login server and my private login server that eventually errors out with the following error:

Code:
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.
All players and clients running windows 7, 8 and 10 are having this issue.

Frankly it is acting like I somehow patched my client, but I didn't... not knowingly anyway...

I am new, so maybe I did something that constituted the server thinking it was patched; however, I don't know how or what that would be.

Client being used by all: Underfoot
Server: VM running Windows 2012 R2
Port Status: nestat -an shows ports listening that should be
Rebooted?: a few times...

Thank you for any thoughts or ideas!

FIX FOUND....

While fixing the private login server issue we were having, it was recommended that we add this to our eqemu_config.xml file

Code:
	<chatserver>
		<host>10.x.x.x</host>
		<port>7500</port>
	</chatserver>

	<mailserver>
		<host>10.x.x.x</host>
		<port>7500</port>
	</mailserver>
I removed the IPs from the <host> field and bounced the server, and all the sudden all of my clients could start connecting again. Very interesting...

Any thoughts on why this would cause this issue? Port related?
