Couple of things to check:
1) Is the host able to reverse-lookup your IP? - I think sshd prefers
for that to work before it will shake your hand.
2) Sometime around 4.5 the ssh version included S/key authentication for
the first time. You can disable this in sshd_config, or on your PuTTY
Client Session parameters. But I don't think this is the problem you
have described.
