I'll play ObviousMan here.  When the connection has failed, do you have
link lights on both ends of the connection?  If so, do you see any
activity lights if you ping the interface?  Try comparing the output of
"ethtool eth0" during the working and non-working cases.  Specifically,
do you see "Link detected: yes"?
