Guys, he said "It goes white like the mainmenu backround". Does that mean your main menu is white?
If so, it's probably a badly configured server because I've had cases where my screen turned white.

Not unusual... the white is... but the connecting thing usually means you're connecting to a full or different version server.Not sure. Screen shots?

I'd say the whitescreen is unusual if that's what the menu looks like.
As far as actually getting around to connecting to servers there's a few things that could prevent that. Misconfigured servers, not uncommon w/ listen servers. Network settings for the game/OS usually havent been configured to allow clients to connect.
Ping timeouts- not everyone (or anyone here afaik) is on an OC3. Most of the KF servers are run from homes, not server farms. 2k4 stops trying to ping servers @ ~1024ms and just displays them as N/A. If you do manage to get a connection on these it's likely to be short lived.
Outdated servers- PMods is a good example. Neither 2k4 or KF has been updated. Servers <3369 will not allow clients to join a KF game. KF2.1 clients connecting to servers running KF2.0 will get version mismatches.
You can usually tell if a server has active players on it by the serverinfo. Scores would usually be different. A telltale sign of players trying to join a non-responsive (non3369) server would be each of them having a ping of 1024. Dont forget about the six player limit. Refresh if a connection failed to see if the server filled up before you joined.
The easiet way to tell if you're actually connecting is after you hit join if should go back to the animated menu and freeze briefly. Once the loading screen comes up you're connected.
