Yeah, I get this same thing sometimes.

I just keep hitting the connect button. Sometimes it goes away after one attempt, sometimes it take 10 attempts of clicking to finally connect to the server....

It's not a solution, but it's what works for me right now.

Error 1017?

[Jalamorf]

I don't remember if it's 1017, but that sounds familiar. I think it is, but don't quote me on it.

[a_Guest03]

If you want it fixed, give me something to quote.

ssss

I get the same exact thing and yes it is 1017 how do i fix this?!?

[a_Guest03]

Bash, when it fails, it says something. Post that something here.

Anyway, about 1017, first patch to eqlive. Download patcher (see sig). Install it into your EQ folder, by browsing and specifying the one with eqgame.exe in it. See sig for Missing Files fix if you have it in the wrong folder. You'll be missing a bunch of files.

If this fails, the answer is probably in my signature, so keep browsing.

Bashjoo, do you have a router? You may have to set DMZ to your internal IP address.
