Two Instances of game causes error 1017.

Hey guys. I was on facebook and it suggested SoD to me and I had played it a while back but hadn't been on in years so I decided to give it another go.
Rule #10 was that you can only play two or less instances of the game at a time and they must be on separate accounts. Back in the day I had two separate accounts going on the same computer and had no problem, but when I logged in tonight and the first account I log into logs in fine (regardless of which one it is) and when I try to open the second instance I get to the server menu, hit login and it sits for a few seconds and gives me error 1017.
It worked for me in the past but I'm not entirely sure why it's not working for me now. I'm not using anything particularly connection hoggy like bittorrent or any P2P and it's just me using the internet currently
Any help would be appreciated!

I used the Anniversary Edition for the install and patched it thoroughly. Even tried using EQ play nice but still did not help.
 
It's an issue with my firewall settings. I disabled my firewall temporarily and re-enabled it and it connected just fine.
Should be fun trying to figure this out now, lol.
