There's your problem.  This is the hexen.rc file.. it's in \data1 or in
one of the PACK files:

--<start>--
developer 0
exec default.cfg
exec config.cfg
exec autoexec.cfg
menu_main <------------------ this is the problem '//' THIS LINE!!
stuffcmds
--<end>--

K.. see what it's telling Hexen 2 to do?  It says "Load up the main
menu".  Now, I haven't tested this, but I think if you remove that line
it will leave hexen2 at the console, where GameSpy takes over and will
hopefully connect you to a server.  I hope it works!! I don't know cuz I
don't have gamespy -_-;;
