Weirdest internet problem ever encountered

[soko]

This problem is easily reproduceable and I have never seen anything like it.

Using Firefox 2.0.0.7 in Windows XP I go to maps.google.com or click on a google maps link, If I attempt to zoom in, search an address or ANYTHING at all regarding the map my entire internet connection dies completely, everything disconnects and I can't get back on until I repair my adapter.

Doesn't happen on any other sites, I use my computer for hours every day and maps.google.com is the only website that kills my internet connection, it's the only time my connection ever goes down (Cable).

Internet Explorer 7 does not cause this problem with google maps.
