error 1017 after selecting server
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		I can load the game and get to the server select screen but after selecting play i get a 1017 error message. 
I followed the walkthrough instructions to set it up and even did the most recent patch as of 11/27/04 
Note: while following the instructions i noticed that if i set my eqhost.txt to a read only file I get a error stating EQ cant find the host file eqhost.txt. if i set it back to a normal file I dont have a problem. 
I set a DMZ host on my router to connect to my IP address. 
I opened ports 5990 to 5999. are there other ports I should open up for the router? 
any assistance would be helpful. If any other information is needed please post.
