What kind of switch are you using?  The only time I've seen behaviour like
this is with a switch that automatically shut off port that had a high
percentage of broadcast traffic (attempting to prevent broadcast storms,
I guess?)  During light load periods, the NMB chatter from the windows
machines would cause just about all the ports to shut off, and the only
way to restore it was to ping from the shut off machines to turn the
port back on.  Not sure if this is your problem ... but something to check.

Aside from that ... is there an inactivity timeout on one end of the ssh
connection or the other?
