You will probably still get a 1017

I use a linksys myself, to get it to work, I had to use my DNS name, not my external IP
in LoginServer.ini and boot5zones, i.e.

LoginServer.ini

loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net
loginserver3=eqlogin3.eqemulator.net
loginserver4=eqlgin4.eqemulator.net
loginport=5997
worldname=Your Server Name
worldaddress=xyz.abc.co.uk
locked=false

boot5zones.bat

start zone . xyz.abc.co.uk 7995 192.168.1.100
start zone . xyz.abc.co.uk 7996 192.168.1.100
start zone . xyz.abc.co.uk 7997 192.168.1.100

And finally, in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on the PC I use to connect to my server (both PCs are on my local LAN behind the same router)

I had to add

192.168.1.100 xyz.abc.co.uk

One final thing to note, the server you are creating is version 5.7DR3. You cannot connect to this if your EQ client is patched up to live.
