I'm not at home right now but as far as I can remeber Renegade requires DirectX 8.1 or higher. You say it only crashes when you play online though. Possibly your modem is using your PC's processor and memory, causing your computer to lockup due to lack of resources. To be honest it could be one of a million things though.
Here are some things that every tech department will tell you to try:
Make sure you have the latest drivers for your hardware (including your modem) For example: latest graphics card drivers, sound card drivers, modem drivers, motherboard drivers.)
Get DirectX 8.1 (or 9)
Install the your operating system's latest service pack. I think XP is on SP1, and I know that Win2k is on SP3.
Reinstall the game, and when you install make sure you have all the latest patches.
dont install any mods, cheats, cracks, dodgy serials, or anything tha didnt come with the game, or from Westwood/EA
defragment your hard drive, and scan it for errors
Make sure nothing is running in the background
Ensure that Renegade is set to pass all firewall ports

Um, I'm sure I've probably missed something out there, but if I have I'm sure someone else will point it out.
