I have a server (RH6 x86_64) that is pingable from a remote host but does not allow ssh. On the server the ssh and network service statuses are both up however the server gets no response when pinging a remote host. If i either restart the networking service or detach/reattach the network cable all issues are resolved; I can ssh from remote host and I get a response when i ping the remote host from server. Everything is fine for maybe a day but then it goes down again with nothing in the dmesg to indicate when or why it went down.Is there a way that I can possibly see why my network/ssh connection is seemingly silently failing.
