Unfortunately old is not synonymous with experienced. I've never run LMS
off pCP...

I think it can be an issue with the Pi's hardware, with networking (on
the Pi or on the switch/router), or LMS. 

Pi hardware: what is connected to the Pi over USB? It is a rather
frequent case that users connect too many devices to the USB ports, and
some get disconnected by the platform. AFAIK max current draw is 1A over
the 4 ports (e.g. max 1A with 1 port, max 500mA each for 2 ports etc.)
As you know, ethernet is connected via USB so an USB reset might affect
your connection. The stock PSU for Pi 3 can output 2.5A over 5V
sustained. If your PSU is weak, like 1A, it is possible that all the
current goes to the Pi itself and not enough remains for the USB ports.

It *think* "dmesg" could show something upon disconnects. Otherwise
adding bootcode "syslog" to cmdline.txt in pCP will allow
/var/log/messages to be created, and there you should get a regular
system log.

Networking: are you using DHCP? If not I would. In case there is a typo
in networking config you can get disconnects/no connection at all. Make
sure the IP used by pCP is indeed unique to the network, an IP conflict
would create transient issues like the one you're seeing.
Also if you're using one of those fancy "green ethernet" network
devices, try and see if disabling power management on the port used by
Pi in the switch/router changes anything.

LMS: could LMS be caught in a fail/restart loop? I would open a session
on pCP, check "ps" regularly and see if the main LMS process ages or on
the contrary, keeps changing PID which would indicate a restart.

I don't think mySB.com would have much to do with this. If you can live
without Internet for a few minutes, you could try pulling the WAN cable
from the router and see if players still reset. I don't see why that
would change anything but when everything's lost...
