1017 either means you are NOT patched to a version compatible with the latest login server, your password for your account is TOO short, or you are having some sort of NAT issue (this can also include firewalls)...

In some cases with some firewalls, turning them off does NOT open the port... I used to work for an ISP as tech support and found that in some cases one had to specifically open certain ports that needed to be used. Simply turning off the firewall program did NOT open the port for traffic....

If you are using a router, make sure that ITS firewall software (read built-in firewall) is NOT the culprit, as it can be in some cases...
