Error 1017: already tried eqfix?

I have tried everything to try and fix the error 1017 that I get when trying to connect to the WR server. eqfix didn't work.

The only thing Ihave found that I have not tried is this:

Because the world server checks the users login server id along with their account name, whenever you signed up for the second time and got a new login id, it wont match the one that the server has in its database, so it will reject the connection. The fix is pretty easy.

Note: This is for server admins with database access.
Say the persons account name was Bob.

Update account set name='OLDBob' where name='Bob';

Have the person login. To restore their characters and stuff:

Select lsaccount_id from account where name='Bob';
Write that down.

Delete from account where name='Bob';
Update account set lsaccount_id=(WHATEVER ID YOU GOT FROM THE ABOVE SELECT QUERY),name='Bob' where name='OLDBob';

Thats it, it should work fine after that.

I'm not sure if this will actually help me, but it is possible that I signed up twice since I was having troubles earlier and I tried to fix it over the span of a few days. If anybody could let me know if this is a possible fix or there are any other fixes I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
 
I get 1017s a lot, sometimes it doesn't even bother and eqgame.exe just up and crashes.

The problem seems to have to do with the amount of traffic happening on my own connection. I 'm on a college network, WR works fine in the early morning hours, but once it hits post-noon I am incapable to log on. Furthermore, it works perfectly all Saturday, and most of Sunday as we're a pretty local student body, and thus everyone goes home.

The one fix I've found is to switch to the local dial-up service. For some reason a college quality broadband connection can't get on, but a 48kbs dial-up connection can.

Take from this what you will.
 
Sorry to report i'm having the same problem, can't get on server with either my DSL conection or my dial up conection so it's not a problem of conection, but of the patcher.

please help!!!!

Follow that step by step.

Patch to current version of everquest through the REGULAR everquest patcher.

After you have patched to the current version, use EQFIX and extract it into your everquest directory OVERWRITING everything.

(eqgame.exe goes in the Everquest root directory, and you just simply replace the UIFILES folder with the one from EQFIX).

Use Winter's Roar patcher (VERSION 1.1)!!!

That's all there is to it. Not difficult at all.
 
thanks for the help

I can't believe I forgot to turn off my anti-virus program, obviously should have been the first thing I tried. I've been up and running for a couple of days now and I'm loving it :)
