openssh - connection reset by peer

Fri Dec 10 18:43:00 2004

would that make the SSH server die - not having the keepalive option set?  if i were at home and tried to SSH (using putty or psftp) i would get the same errors from another computer on my home LAN.  if i went into services and tried to stop/start openssh, i would get some error.  if i rebooted the machine all would be well...for a while.  the server and the DSL router are both up though, b/c i can still get to the webserver using a browser.  just can't SSH until the system is rebooted.  i don't like this unstability of openssh...
