There are a couple of things to change here that may or may not solve the issue, but will help things later down the road.. The first thing (and this is PROBABLY what is causing your 1017), make your server name longer... Also in DB.ini change it to localhost (that probalby wont matter, but just in case it seems to like localhost better than 127.0.0.1 on some machines, go figure).

Are you using a dynamic IP or static? Are you using a router that needs to be configured to forward the ports needed by EQEMu? Do you have a firewall that needs to be disabled? If you do NOT know the answers to all of those questions, try this: Change all instances where you put your IP to say localhost and or 127.0.0.1 and see if you can connect...(except your world address) This will ensure that the only thing you HAVE to make sure works (internet-wise) is your connection to the loginserver, the rest will be read directly from your machine without looping back... Try these things, if they dont work post back here, and we'll see what we cant do...

You have this:
Quote:
start zone . YourIP 7995 localhost
start zone . YourIP 7996 localhost
start zone . YourIP 7997 localhost
start zone . YourIP 7998 localhost
start zone . YourIP 7999 localhost
exit
cls
Try putting in your internal IP where you have localhost (if you have a router), if not then try putting in your IP in both columns....
This is the meat and potatoes of your problem (probably) you have this:
Quote:
# READ README.TXT
[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginport=5997
worldname=Tommy
worldaddress=Your external IP Address here
locked=false
When you SHOULD have this:
Code:
[LoginServer] 
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net 
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net 
loginserver3=eqlogin3.eqemulator.net 
loginport=5997 
loginport=5997 
loginport=5997 
worldname=Tommy 
worldaddress=Your external IP Address here 
locked=false
But, also note, your server name it probably too short also.. try using something like "Tommy The EQ Connection", or something like that just to test...

Also, the questions I asked earlier DO apply to you too. Such as, do you have a router? Do you use a dynamic IP and so on...
