I can't seem to get the shortcut working either. This is the latest variation I've tried:
"C:\Program Files\dominions2\dom2.exe --tcpclient --ipadr soapyfrog.no-ip.info --port 2345"
can someone point out the error of my ways?

Is that an exact quote? If so then you need tomove that " after 2345 to be after dom2.exe
short explanation
I know it doesnt seem logical but its true. You are only quoting up to the exe
longer explanation
The only reason Win wants the quotes at all is because the blanks in the path to the exe mess it up. So it only wants the to clarify the exe call, after that its back to business as usual. Another way to do it without the confusing quotes would be...
C:\Progra~1\domini~1\dom2.exe --tcpclient --ipadr soapyfrog.no-ip.info --port 2345
which isnt bad to say in instructions since it works for both new Wins and old Wins. Its the old Win98 way of saying "6 letters of a directory name that is too long so the ~1 or ~2 is saying grab the first (or second one) that matches it"
