[Possible Spam]::Re: [bf1942] Patch does not fix +joinServer ( with port )

You think maybe they don't want people joining games that way?  Throw us a
bone and say "sorry, doesn't work."  This has to be the most annoying server
setup in history.

No if the port is specific it goes tits up and comes up with a
network error without sending a packet to the host even if
the port was the default port.

I just did some more testing and it appears that anything
that doesn't match an ip pattern is looked up so it tries
to resolve:
127.0.0.1:4000

Not surprisingly it doesn't resolve and hence the "network
failure"

Sorry but that is funny, back to networking 101 for who
ever wrote that check :P
