I'm having the exact same problem. I don't have the PnkBstrB.log file or something, so I can't go onto a server for more than 15 seconds without getting kicked...

Rename your pb older in the game's install folder pb_old. Now create a new pb folder simply named pb(lower-case).

Go to www.evenbalance.com and download the latest PBSETUP.exe file, slide it into the new pb folder and run the .exe file. This will create a brand new set of pb files for your game and should fix your problem for you.

Just make sure that your a/v and firewall are not blocking the PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe files that are created as a result.

Some users end up with the A and B files set to manual in their Windows Services list. To fix this, once you've updated, simply open up your control panel, open Administrative Tools and Services. Now find PnkBstrA.exe in the list of running services, right click it, and select Automatic.

Since A starts B, you'll need to start the game, log into a pb-enabled server, and then minimize the game. Refresh the Services list and now find PnkBstrB.exe in the list and right click and select Automatic for it as well.
