BF Client Lock ups

[Scum]

Several players have contacted me concerning a problem and now I have the
same issue.

When you load up the game and click internet the game hangs and they have to
reboot their box. I just tried and sure enough mine hung up as well.

Anyone have any ideas why? About 10 players are reporting this within the
last hour.

Is their a master server likes Halflifes WON that could be down??
