I had a similar problem, I could see my server in the list but got a 1017 when trying to connect. I tracked it down to the db.sql not having any accounts setup by default (I think it used to have the eqemu account in it) causing World.exe to complain about a bad user/pass in it's debug output.
I added the user manually by typing 'world.exe adduser eqemu eqemu 200' in a dos prompt inside the emu directory and it's been working fine ever since.
