    My internet connection drops everytime I use Facebook or Myspace. Any other website, it works fine.

    I can use it, but sometimes when i click to view my profile or someones profile, connection just drops, and i have to wait 2-4 minutes for the connection to start again.

    What type of connection do you have, and where do you live? You don't happen to live in a university dormitory, do you?

    those servers arent the best, its not your internet, its their servers. I too, get pages cant be displayed on those site, especially during high traffic times (8-10pm).

    If you bypass the router and connect directly to your broadband modem, do you still have the IE problem?

    That leads me to believe you have an issue with your router. Have you installed the latest firmware? Have you done a hard reset lately on the router?
