help debuging ssh messages.

Hi Everyone,
I am having problems SSHing from a client to the server. When the server is restarted, everything works fine. Few days/weeks (this happens at irregular intervals) after restarting, the problem (i.e.,not able to SSH) appears again.

note:
-------
I am able to ping the server and get all the replies even when it is not SSH'able. The server which acts as a gateway keeps routing the traffic from the internal network irrespective of the SSH issue.

When I issued an SSH command with the -vvv option, it displays the following:

Code:
[root@devBox ~]# ssh -v <ipaddress>
OpenSSH_4.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7f 22 Mar 2005
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Applying options for *
debug1: Connecting to  <ipaddress> [<ipaddress>] port 22.
debug1: Connection established.
debug1: permanently_set_uid: 0/0
debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/identity type -1
debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_rsa type -1
debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_dsa type -1
ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer

Please let me know if you have any ideas.
-Karthik.

The sshd server is breaking the connection, but there is no indication why on the client side. Server logs, and debugging sshd itself, could be more useful.
