That freezes happen when you click Multiplay>Internet button and master.gamespy.com server is not responding. BF1942.exe waits until the connection times out, around 6 seconds. However, it retries the connection to master.gamespy.com for every server in your list, that's why it seems like it never ends. It's a coding mistake in BF1942.exe, which can be easily patched.
Another way around it, is to use a program to get the BF1942 servers list and connect to them, instead of using the in-game server browser.
