another rule. This will be more secure as disabling all rules ..

Neither can't I from here, but iptables has some mechanisms to chech how
many times a rule is being hit from an IP address, so it could be one of
those features which blocks you after a while (this is mostly used for
new connections, not existing once, so this should (in theory) not be
your problem, but you might check it).

Another way to go would be to let iptables log more stuff so you can see
what's going on.

Anyway, this newsgroup is not about iptables, so I'll get back to SSH:

You might want to enable logging or use verbose mode when connection
with SSH and see what it mentions when your connection goes down.
