Right, you can't do it in Spearhead. It won't let you type a port number. I think the way it showed up on mine was I browsed to the game I wanted to play in the In-Game Browser, then joined. I don't think the port # is needed in SH.

no i have the same problem. you cant hit : key to enter the port number. okay to do this open your console and type connect then the full IP with port number. should work then.

Cheers,
