I seriously doubt it has anything to do with you both being online at the
same time. Your browsing might be delayed a bit if you're both very active,
depending on your ISP connection speed, but not something that would lock up
the system totally.
Even though you have XP SP2 installed and are using the Windows Firewall, I
would look toward having a parasite or some sort of hijacker in your
browser. Take a look at the information here:
www.aumha.org/secure.htm
where there are a lot of free tools to check your system. The even have a
quite active security forum if you have additional questions.
