The bit with "User Specified system" you need to choose "NEXT" to the connect type screen.

Choose "Group/Server selection" from the "connection type" drop down

Enter you SID in sys ID field

Enter your message Server IP or Host

You will also need check two files :

1) on the client PC in C:\windows ===> sapmsg.ini file If this is missing create one and put in it <SID>=Hostname of message server.

2) services file C:\windows\system32\drivers make sure there is a reference to your systems message server port.

E.G. 36<sys number> /tcp same format as the rest.
