I set LogLevel in the ssh and sshd config files to "debug3" in an attempt to discover the cause for the network connection being dropped. I see alot of debugging info, butnothing jumps out at me as a possible cause. The sshd info was not logged to a file that I could find, but here is the output of the ssh client. Note that this time the connections all died simultaneously, and within only a few minutes of being initiated.
