Often people have problems joining thier own server, often because of a router, sometimes just because theyre too lazy to open ARC Match.
To create a shortcut which will load ARC connected to your server first goto where you want to make the shortcut, right click, goto New then Shortcut.
Where it asks for the location of the item browse for and select ARC.exe. Note: Make sure you select ARC.exe and not ARC Match.exe, ARC.exe has a plain icon.
Once youve selected ARC.exe you need to add some text to the end of the target:
-player "User" -password "Pass" -Host "127.0.0.1" -port "Port" -playpass "Pass"
Change the bold items to fit your ARC login details and those set in your Config file, for Port make sure you put the value after -Port and not -PingPort. If you dont have a password you can leave out the last flag.
Finally, click Next type a name and then Finish. Then, anytime you want to join your own server simply run this shortcut.
If you have problems make sure that the flags are types correctly, and that you have quotes in all the right places. Your full 'target' should look like this:
"C:\Program Files\Sierra\ARC\ARC.exe" -player "SomeUsername" -password "mypass" -Host "127.0.0.1" -port "24000" -playpass "pass"
