Streaming windows media content seems to kill my wireless network

Serious, what's up with that?

I have a Belkin PCMCIA card, not the best but it hasn't given me a problem otherwise, and I have a Linksys wireless router.

So whenever I go to a webpage that has an embedded streaming WM content or when I try and "preview" a song that streams on a website I buy CDs from, it totally kills my wireless network.

It seems to shut down my wireless card, and then when I start it up again it snags my neighbors wireless and not from my Linksys router in the same room. The only way to get it to access the router again is to reset the router (or unplug/plug it back in).

Any ideas? I'm already running the latest drivers (from 2003), so I guess the easiest thing to do is just get a new wireless card that may behave better with windows and media player.
 
I tried googling the answer but come up empty handed, surely this has happened to someone else before me. :p
