How do I find out? > /var/log/secure file? Anywhere else to look? Thanks! Have you looked in /var/log/messages or /var/log/secure to see if there's any any messages there? Have you tried adding a "-d -d -d" to the sshd invocation to increase the debug level to maximum message output? Does this occur when the connection has been sitting idle for a while and/or when there is activity on the ssh connection? Some routers will drop the connection after a period of inactivity.
