I've had a bizarre issue with MySpace. I have two computers on a network, one wired and one wireless to a Linksys WRT54GC router, and when either system is on the MySpace website for more than a minute or two, the internet connection (Comcast) effectively dies for both. I need to restart the router to re-establish my connection. Any ideas on why this happens?
 
I would try to update the routers firmware.

My guess is you are looking at a heavily populated page and it is causing the router to dump because there are so many connections going through it.

This could be from a persons profile that has tons images, video, and audio all being downloaded from various servers.
 
there is a chance that there is so many connections to the site that your router is thinking its a DoS and shutting off.
 
Simple.... don't go to MySpace!

Hey, someone was gonna say it sooner or later! ;)
