Well I did notice the render distance was set to tiny. But this was far smaller than tiny, because absolutely nothing would render, not even the ground you are standing on.

Before I connected to the server I set the texture pack from the main menu to the Sphax 128 pixel pack (which takes a while to load). When I logged in I noticed the rendering problem so I attempted to switch to default textures which didn't help. After restarting and loading the game again still with default textures it worked. Then I switched to Sphax and then it continued to work fine after that.

I was about to reply by saying I was having the exact same problem, but it seems to have fixed itself. I'm running Windows 7 x64 and I just connected to my tekkit server (hosted at a different location on another Windows 7 x64 machine) using a fresh install of the technic pack. Nothing would render but i could still move around and interact with the world. I did a clean restart of the game and opened the launcher again, had some issues with the launcher wanting to start in offline mode, but after a few times starting it worked fine. Once i got into the game everything rendered normally. The only thing I can think of might be that I set my texture pack to default minecraft before I restarted the game and when I came back things would render again.
