If I had this problem, I think that the first thing I would do is
disable all the "complicated" bits - like dhcdbd - and configure the
network manually in /etc/network/interfaces

In other words, get networking back to basics.

Then see if ifdown followed by ifup doesn't solve the problem.

If you're using DHCP, try setting setting up static IP addresses
instead.  Then you know that lease expiry won't be contributing to the
problem.
