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.
