Ok... I have seen this problem a few times on forums, but it is never answered.... please someone answer.

I click on Wormnet to join and than i double click the server, but then there is is just a blank blue screen with nothing on it. The lobby never loads and none of the hosting or joining junk either, it's just a blank blue screen. I can exit and it doesn't crash. It even says loading when i try to get into wormnet but nothing ever loads but the blue screen and the loading screen goes away. No crashing at all though. I've restarted my comp, and i've even reinstalled the game. Someone please help.

check your firewall and router, if you wait long enough you should see a error message because it timed out trying to connect.

I Have let it sit for 10 min. with no clock out and I don't have a firewall and my comp is plugged directly into the Modem

Sounds like this problem (http://worms2d.info/Troubleshooting_FAQ#When_I_try_to_connect_to_WormN ET.2C_nothing_happens):

When I try to connect to WormNET, nothing happens
PeerGaurdian can cause this by blocking the WormNET IP address. Consider reconfiguring or disabling PeerGaurdian.

A friend of mine is also having this problem (there was a thread about it ages ago), he says it's because the router he is behind is "a ***** fortress".

What kind of connections does WA make when connecting to WormNet?

I have this problem when PeerGuardian is running. It blocks the T17 IP, so either perm allow it, or disable PeerGuardian when you want to play on WormNet.

Otherwise, it's your firewall blocking it.

Edit: Whooops, yeah, what Run said ;)

I'm not using Peer guardian, in fact i've never even heard of it till now lol, I'm Not behind a router and my Firewall is disabled. All i get is a Blue screen. I've temporarily DMZ'd my comp lol. Everytime I get onto wormnet i get a blue screen with no lobby
