Hey,
This is my Guide that is noob friendly to connect to a private server. Note this guide is split into two. Non-Hamachie or Hamachie.
Non-Hamachie
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1: Well first of all open up your World of Warcraft folder.
(Note : This folder is mostly found in C: DRIVE.)
Step 2: Now let find a private server.
Step 3 : Check the latest patch on there website.
(Note : If there latest patch is under 2.2.0, Don't bother going on it.)
Step 4 : By now you should have registered on server. Now you have to connect. First go back to the World of Warcraft folder and look for a file called "realmlist". Open it is opened you have a choice using "Word" or "Notepad" . Once it is opend you will find a text that looks like this.
set realmlist logon.worldofwarcraft.com
Step 5 : Adding it to the server. Now you should have realmlist open, Type in the server's REALM LIST so it should look like something like this.

Tips:
Try to spell the servers realmlist and the hamachie network name, correctly.
If you are a server owner try not to use hamachie. If you do make more than 1 network you wont reach as many players because the hamachie network has a number limit of players.
If you are a person that swaps from server to server, try to make a shortcut to the realmlist on your desktop.
Always turn your virus and firewall on when you go on a private server.
Try to wait a little after making you account. Most server's have around a 5 minuet waiting period.
