Perhaps the same thing as what used to happen to me a long time ago: if you disconnect your modem or ethernet cable your firewall (prelude?) and/or iptables and/or shorewall will go to sleep, e.g. service prelude status could show `prelude dead but prelude-report running`. If that is the case you won`t be able to connect. I solved it by setting up a set of sudo commands, such as ifup eth0, ifdown eth0, service prelude stop, service prelude start, service iptables stop, service iptables start and made aliases for commands to combine them into one command only. Never had the problem again. HTH.
