Error 1017
Ive checked into eqemu forums and FAQ and still nothing works does anyone else have suggestive ideas to fix this problem?
Re: Error 1017
Well I was on THF saturday night raided all night 3 boxing fine logged on the next day with just 1 toon exited to get the new spellfile and ever since I havnt been able to connect to any server it goes to char screen than back to login prompt.
Re: Error 1017
Did you try to revert the old spell file of yours?
Do I understand right, that you can not login any servers - I mean not just THF? Perhaps local problem like: firewall, new installed program, ISP or downloading something? (... or uploading via a trojan?)

Re: Error 1017
From the EQ site.
Error 1017:
"Cannot login to the EverQuest server. You may need to re-run the Update Patch. Repeatedly seeing this message indicates a loss of connectivity to the Patch Server. This is usually temporary."
This error can be confusing because it has to do more with connectivity to the world servers rather then the patch server. Included below are ways to troubleshoot this problem based on your connection type, whether you dial up to connect or you use some type of broadband connection (Cable, DSL). Of course, if the tips below do not help then you will want to also refer to our Network/Connection Support page for additional information on connectivity problems.
If you connect to the Internet using a dial-up modem then you will first want to check to see if you have a network card installed on your computer along with the modem. If you do have a network card installed as well as the modem then you will want to disable it. Most often network cards will have a default subnet mask of 255.0.0.0, which would cause your computer to search itself internally for the EverQuest servers. Since the EverQuest servers are not located on your computer it will never find them, and you will get the 1017 error listed above. If you do not have a network card installed along with the modem then you will want to make sure you have the proper subnet mask. To check this you will want to click on the Start button at your desktop. In the start menu, click on run, and type in 'winipcfg' in the "Open" line. The IP configuration window should pop up and you will be able to check your subnet mask there. If it is set to 255.0.0.0, then you will want to release and renew your IP address until you get a subnet mask that is something other then 255.0.0.0. Ideally you will want to have 255.255.255.0. If you are unable to get a different subnet mask after releasing and renewing then you will need to contact your Internet Service Provider for further assistance.
The same mainly applies to broadband connections as well. Most troubles with the 1017 error come from improper subnet masks. You will want to be careful of multiple network cards in a single machine. Even though one may be set up properly to connect to EverQuest, the other could be defaulting the subnet mask to 255.0.0.0. You will be able to check your subnet mask the same as listed above.
If you are running a firewall or proxy server and are receiving the 1017 error, then please visit our Network/Connection support page to find all the settings to configure your Firewall to be able to connect to EverQuest.

Re: Error 1017
I think a friend of mine had this problem and it was because he put in the wrong spell file (Titanium in for a SOD ver. ) but it was about 6-8 months ago so I might be wrong

Re: Error 1017
This problem just started for me yesterday. I login thru the private login server and has always worked fine. I haven't downloaded anything lately that would mess with my internet connection. I tried what nexor said and looked at my ip address and its 255.255.255 which should be fine. everytime ive tried to log in today it keeps giving me the error 1017 message. any ideas?
