1.   Which game version are you running?  (look at the bottom right of the screen when you're in the game to find out)

2.  If your're running game version 1.05 or less, you'll have to allow SINS past any firewalls you've got on your PC and forward two ports through any router along the path between your PC and your ISP.  Please download and follow the steps in my guide "Networking and SINS" which can be found right under the GREEN text in this thread.

If you're running the BETA for v1.1 (v1.09) then all you have to do is make sure SINS is allowed through your anti-malware/firewalls and you don't have to forward any ports.  v1.1 "tunnels" past routers with ease. :)

 

So again, you must make sure you allow SINS access out past any software firewalls (maybe alt-tab to see if it's asking for permission once in-game).  Then, depending on what game version you're running you'll have to follow the steps above.  :)

thanks,

This might not be whats causing your pc to lock up but I had this problem when trying to host or join mp with a few of my games... They would just freeze and I would have to reboot. I discovered my Norton Antivirus 2008 was causing the problems. I had to go in and modify what Norton allows. If you're using Norton 2008, you may want to check it out if the advice you've gotten so far doesn't solve your problem.

daedric63,

Do you read?  You'll notice I linked you to ALL of the information you'll need in my REPLY #1.  If you follow the LINK and check under the GREEN writing you'll see a LINK to my guide "Networking and SINS" which answers the questions you've been asking.

Please follow the LINK in my first reply to your OP. 

Of course, it should go without saying that SINS should have all necessary firewall "exceptions" set and you may need to run the game in "windowed-mode" in order to see the firewall-prompt.

thanks,

the Monk
