Problem connecting to server

Hi all,

I started a Quake 3 server using port 27001
I cannot connect to it with my second PC, but when I start the server with the default port of 27960 it works fine, I can see the server.

Is there a way to start the Q3 client from the command line and tell it to connect to server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with port 27001?

Thank you

in the console on the client pc, just type /connect xx.xx.xxx.xx:27001. i'm sure there's a cmd line way, but i'm not recalling it atm.

mmm, what I need is the command line way of doing it, I already know the console way.

Thank you non the less.

quake3 +connect 1.2.3.4:27001 -- though it does exactly the same thing as what juggernaut suggested.

Thank you very much. This is exactly what I needed. I feel like an idiot for not trying JuggerNaut's idea with a + in front of connect in my shortcut.

Thanks again
