Hello there everyone!
I have made several versions of the eqemu server work on my computer, mostly due to the kind community. Now I feel like paying back part of my share with posting some of my experiences and tips.
Main Cause of 1017 Error for me
I usually was clumsy on this one. Make sure when you are getting this error of the following things:
- Check the loginserver.cfg file and make sure you filled in your external IP.
Don't forget to run minilogin.exe first when you are doing.... minilogin.
Read the manual closely several times and you will usually figure out the error. Remember, most mistakes are simply oversights... well at least for me 
.
Asking for Help
Every time I am about to post for help, I realize there is a search button for the forums. Many people will get a little angry if you ask a question that has been asked many times. Getting familiar with the search function can really be a great thing.
Running your Server
After getting the first few people on your server, you may get very excited. I know I did :lol:. This may tempt you to give away lots of items or parade around and give everyone GM status if your server is legit.
This can spoil the game for some people so I recommend be careful when doing it. Also watch out, giving someone you don't know a high status could possibly enable them to shut down your server!
