Does Ping mean how populated the server is? I think that might be my probablem to why I can't connect.

i THINK (im pretty sure) that ping is your lagg. The lower number of ping you have the less lagg you have, and vice-versa

taken from http://heloism.com/ping_tutorial.htm:
Your "ping rate" is a measure of the time (in milliseconds) it takes for a signal to travel from your computer to your opponent’s and back.
This number tells you how good of a connection you can expect from that particular server with your computer. Ping rates will depend upon your ISP, your local telephone service, the type of connection you have, the type of modem you have, etc.
Ping rates of under 200 are considered excellent. Ping rates of 200-300 are OK but not great. Over 300 pings and things start to get a little "iffy"; the "lag" on these servers makes it all but impossible to fly with any accuracy. This can be frustrating, which is why it's so important to check ping rates before logging onto any server.
