Punkbuster should be force enabled every time you load PR, I'm not sure why it wouldn't be force enabled for you.
Anyway, go to:
My Documents/Battlefield 2/Profiles/(Your profile number)/General.con
(Open that file in notepad or a similar text editing program)
Find the line
GeneralSettings.setAllowPunkBuster 0
and change that to 1, ie:
GeneralSettings.setAllowPunkBuster 1
Save, and it should fix your problem
.

Well that's not the same as "Server requires PB" isn't it
. Didn't see how it could become disabled anyway...
So, try updating your punkbuster,
check the FAQ for more information

Q: I am getting kicked from servers for Punkbuster issues other than MD5Tool Mismatch errors.
A: Most commonly, these types of issues are solved by updating Punkbuster files. You can do this by running
PBSetup. If that still doesn't fix the issue, try running
PBSVC and reinstalling the Punkbuster service.
