I set up ssh on my new linux box yesterday, but when I tried to log in this morning after a restart, I wasn’t able to. After re-installing ssh and changing all my router settings back, I discovered I couldn’t even ping my box. This was at least a relief since it meant the problem was a network issue, not ssh.
It turns out that my static IP information was getting reset after each reboot. After a little digging, I found a step-by-step fix for this known issue. It involves disabling the Gnome Network Manager, which is fine by me.

I had similar problems with Gnome’s network manager. Seem’s very flaky… now I feel much more clever knowing I can configure network settings via the command line. Uber geeky!!
