Here is another tip for you newbies. Make a shortcut on your desktop with the following executable:
dom2.exe --tcpclient --ipadr 69.10.97.69 --port 65000

Also, make sure the 'start in' location in the shortcut is proper for wherever the game is located on your computer.

Then, all you have to do is double click on the icon and it puts you direct to the server. This would have avoided the problem you guys had.
