During the times when it fails are you getting no response or a host unreachable error of some kind? What happens when you type: netcat remote.host-that.is.failing.com 22 Its possible the hard drive is going to sleep and it is taking a while to spin back up. What steps do you take to make it come back up? Does it stay down until you reboot the box? -Mike
