I have a ethermega (knockoff of arduino mega with ethernet capabilities) and i am trying to control a robotic arm made of six servos. Everytime a signal is sent the ethernet connection is cut out. Does anybody have an idea what the problem could be? I think it the servos need their own power supply but have not had time to try it yet. any ideas would be helpful.

Even a single servo should probably have its own supply; trying to power six from an Arduino is asking for trouble.
Maybe some extra decoupling too.
