Your configuration looks reasonable to me.  Would you please give us a
look at your kernel configuration?  Typically a SSH scan of password
won't cause the problem you are describing, and this is likely to
indicate some other problems, like:
 - Firewall dynamic rules table filled.
 - Some critical resources has been exhausted
 - Maybe some bugs in network adapter driver

You may want to try "netstat -m", and ping other nodes when the
networking is not working properly.  These information would be helpful
for tracking down the problem.  Also, a /var/run/dmesg.boot would give
us some information about your hardware.

Cheers,
