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.

This sounds like a great idea -- but I'm not exactly sure what to do. Can you elaborate a bit? Thanks.

And the server seems to be down still.

Hmmmm..... Are you really THAT computer iliiterate???

The following only works for WIN XP, but the other window operating systems are similar:
1. Riht click on the icon which starts Dom2 and select create shortcut.
2. Go to the shortcut you just created, right click on it and select rename. Change it to GrimK or Newbiegame 2, or whatever floats your boat.
3. Right click on it again and select properties.
4. Copy the above shortcut inside the target box.
5. Hit apply.

And presto-chango! You now have a direct link to Grim Knight's server. No more selecting network and typing in a bunch of random numbers!

Ain't Bill Gates amazing???
