I have a model B pi connected to an old router upstairs through ethernet cable. When I connect to this router with my laptop I can SSH and VNC to the pi no problem. When I then connect the pi to another network over WiFi using my usb adapter, the ethernet connection drops thus killing my VNC and SSH connections.

I am using Raspbian Wheezy and connecting with the basic WiFi tool from the desktop. I thought this would be something fairly easy to setup but I'm not really sure what to do next.

It looks as if you are not supplying enough power to the WiFi device. You need to either get a device that consumes less power, or use a powered USB hub instead.
