I feel your pain - there are several of us with what looks to be the same problem - see http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/vie...5&start=15

Understood - I've re-patched several times, and even blew my whole EQ environment away and loaded from scratch with no luck there. I'm trying to see if I can get a few people to log in with clients they know work on other servers to see if they get the same problem I am. If that's the case, then I'm wondering if it doesn't have to do with my firewall. Things were working fine with the same boot5zones.bat file for my 5.9DR2 server, this popped up with the 6.0DR1 server release.
