Connect to DB using another TCP port from SQL management Studio

Hi,
The DBA set database on server to a high TCP port number.
How can I connect to it from Microsoft SQL2005 management Studio.
I can't find the option to set TCP port number in there.
Thanks!You can use tcp:servername,port in the connection dialog although if the SQL
Browser is running you should still be able to use the instance name. As an
alternative you can set up a client alias using SQL Server Configuration
Manager>SQL Native Client Configuration>Aliases

I'm using SQL server management studio-> object explore-> connect->
database engine -> ...
I see "servername:", "authentication:", "connect to database:",
"network protocol"...
No place I can put "tcp:192.168.1.1,8800" or somthing like that.

security reasons (and the fact that this is not enabled in the setup
process by default) the SQL Browser service can not be running. The
port can be specified manually by putting it after the instancename you
want to connect to:
For default instances: Servername\InstanceName,Portnumber
For named instances: Servername,Portnumber
