Hi,
I have got this really weird problem. I have a router set up at home and everything works fine. Computers at home can always access the internet.
I also have the SSH port on the router open so that I can connect to it from elsewhere. However, when nobody is using the internet at home, the router stops responding and I can not connect to it via SSH anymore. The weird thing is that while somebody is using the internet at home, I can SSH no problem.
My first suspicion is that the NIC is going to sleep after a certain amount of inactivity. You might check your Power Saving settings in your router's BIOS (assuming a PC-based router), or use a tool like mii-diag or nictools-pci to see if there's a sleep setting on your NIC.
If this is a hardware router, I'm even more clueless. Sorry.
