Some PC games stall internet

I recently got back into the gaming scene on my PC since I got a brand new graphics card. I had bought some games in the past but was unable to play them to the fullest capacity. One of these games is Spiderman The Movie (first one). I have a problem with it though, I've noticed that when I'm playing the game the internet connection on my PC lags/stalls or just even stops. The connection to the router/hub/switch remains connected though. I tried some other games and this happens sometimes during them as well. I transfer files to myself all the time over ssh2 and to kill time until I have the files I try to play these games but if I play the games the net just dies.

I was wondering if this is normal or if there is some sort of windows setting to keep the connection alive.
