If you want to make a shortcut to launch the game and automatically connect to a specific server, it's very easy. First, make yourself a copy of the shortcut you normally use to start the game. Once you've done that, right-click on the shortcut and choose Properties from the menu. Once the dialog is displayed, make sure you have the Shortcut tab selected at the top.
This will display, among other things, the command used to start the game in an input box called Target. If you installed it in the default location, it will contain an entry like this:
"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\MOHAA.EXE"
The box is not wide enough to show the entire line, so you will most probably be viewing the tail end of it. Next you'll need to edit the contents of this box, so left-click in the box and make sure that the cursor is positioned after the quotation marks at the end of the line. Type a space and add the following to the line so it ends up looking like this, substituting the IP address of the server you want to connect to automatically for the one I have used below:
"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\MOHAA.EXE" +set cl_playintro 0 +connect 216.42.80.176
Each command line option starts with a "+" and may contain one or more arguments depending on the option used. The first option listed above tells the server not to play the normal client introduction sequence. The second argument is what tells the client to automatically connect to a game server. Remember to change the IP address to the server you want.
