I might have had a similar problem a while back,
Every time i'd host with bigpat on a lan, or even try to open the multiplayer section my computer would do the exact same thing.
i don't really know how to fix it, but it works now
you could try,
Reinstalling RS
deleting the preffs
rebuilding the desktop

If you recently installed a firewall or got a cable router, that could be the problem. same shiznit happened to me.
