Just edit your HOSTS file to include the addresses of your favourite servers. The file is located here :

Windows XP = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows 2K = C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Win 98\ME = C:\WINDOWS

Add lines like :

82.195.132.222 TIG
193.120.123.133 IOL
195.62.10.170 NRG

And when you hit to 'Connect to IP' button ingame, you just type in TIG or IOL or whatever to connect to the server.
