Daybreak updated the Steam client from the supported RoF version to a new, unsupported TDS version in mid-June. The myriad undocumented changes haven't yet been reverse-engineered and added into the server code to get the latest version working.

Just downloaded it around three days ago.
And bah, I even just finished re-downloading, making sure to stop Steam from updating it.
From what I've read, the reason we cannot share the client is because, uh, that would be sharing the files.
Gonna go make a new thread discussing XDelta, and how we can use that to make patches for the various clients kicking around, allowing everyone to be able to get the optimal version.

It seems like there may be an issue with zone. If zone were connecting, you would see in the world window something similar to "[World Server] New TCP connection from 127.0.0.1:1186" and several more listings than you have based on what you set in your `launcher` table in your database.
I also noticed there are lines in your config file which are uncommented and vary from the default file. I'm not sure if this would affect anything.
I didn't see it mentioned whether this was a fresh install. I assume it is.

All the lines in the .ini were there by default, I just un-commented them to make sure that everything was set to the default settings.
Aye, it's a fresh install.
I found that if I do the following:
Code:
Windows + R -> cmd
type in the following:
shared_memory.exe
start world.exe
start zone.exe
start ucs.exe
start queryserv.exe
start eqlaunch.exe zone
My server is listed on the server list as unlocked (I.E, it no longer says "locked", it now says 0), and a couple people have even joined it. I still get the black screen though, which I assume is because my client is too new.
So yeah. The guide on setting up a server for Windows 7 needs to be updated.
