Yet Another 1017

[Warhead]

First off, my great thanks to all the people that have no doubt spent countless hours on this and have answered many many cries for advice and help.

I'm pretty noob when it comes to this stuff, so bare with me. I played Hacking Forever server for a few nights and was pretty intrigued so I decided to play around and create a server of my own.

I have gotten this far:

World.exe loads fine, no problems
Boot5zones.exe loads just fine as well

I log into to server selection and try and join my and server and get smacked with our lovely friend 1017.

My current OS is Windows 98 and I'm connecting to the internet through a router.

I've browsed a bunch of posts looking for problems similar to mine for a solution. I almost 100% positive that I haven't upgraded EQ to far as I can still join running servers.

From what I've been reading, it sounds like it's my router, but I'm not really sure what to do.

Thank you in advance for any help.
