Just to let you know, you can also make a shortcut direct to Dasaria on your PC's desktop.

Just make a shortcut to NWN on the desktop, and for "Target" enter this:

C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain.exe +connect t1.dasaria.net:5121

(this assumes you've got NWN installed in the default directory)

Ok...I must've done something wrong....it just logs me in same as the regular shortcut...I still have to log in and choose Internet game, and go through Gamespy....

I made that mistake. make sure you change nwn.exe to nwmain.exe

This is out of date and does not work any longer. Correct?

Should still be working. It works for me, at any rate.

I've always used this shortcut. Still works.

Well it took some doing, but I managed to make it work. I did not install the program to the default directory. I prefer to keep my system a bit more organized. However that should not have been an issue. I had to strip the full path from the target and add in the ext info to get it to work. When I saved it Win 2K changed it to look like this:

"C:\Program Files\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain.exe" +connect t1.dasaria.net:5121

Perhaps it is an OS difference that is causing the issue. I would gather that most are running XP. Sorry to hear it too. I thank you all for your assistance.

Good night and may all you encounter enlighten your life.
