At this point, i would post what was asked for above. Also where are you trying to connect from (home/school/cell phone/etc.) And who is the network administrator (you/dad/brother/paid dude at your school? )
I'm pretty sure the 1017 error is a 'can't find server error'.
So if your local files are correct and not corrupt, and since everyone else is playing SoD happily, my guess is something is blocking the SoD traffic on your end. This could be windows firewall, anti virus, router/modem firewall, or other network administrator solvable issues.
Turn all your local security stuff off, and try connecting. From there you can see if it is a local security issue or a network issue.
