Welcome to the forums.

If you mean the countdown WHILE connecting to a server, it will only switch to "another" server if you are trying to connect using the "Quick Start" option in ESF. To avoid this, simply select a server from the list under "Internet Games" (make sure you filter 'are playing game' to ESF and then press UPDATE) and then join a specific server.

OK, i think i understand now.... think.....
You have to choose what team you want then what character you want. Also check the manual for how to handle each character.

This is kind of common sense... Take a screenshot (F5) and show it to us, the screenshot will be in your half life folder.
EDIT: I did that myself:
Step 1
Step 2

Well after talking to him on aim yesterday, I had him connect to my server. With the server log on i saw him connect, but then drop 10 seconds later. I told him to be patient but he insisted there must be a button to press... Just listen to Chris's advice.

yes it always takes about 1-2 minutes for my ESF to finish connecting and start up right but not to long
