If not then try "ssh -v -v -v" which may point you in the right direction. If it's just Windows which can't login, then try running sshd in debug mode and see if that tells you anything. from man sshd -d Debug mode. The server sends verbose debug output to the system log, and does not put itself in the background. The server also will not fork and will only process one connection. This option is only intended for debugging for the server. Multiple -d options increase the debugging level. Maximum is 3. If none of that shows anything useful, then maybe you have some network level problem. Does any kind of connection from Windows work? E.g. Samba shared drive? Ftp? Or even (for testing only) telnet, since putty does that too? If it's a network level problem, then some more info about your topology might be helpful. E.g. are all these machines on the same LAN segment connected to the same switch? --Alex PS I assume you've tried your error message through google?
