You'll want to enable verbosity on your client to see if that provides
some insight.  If not, you'll want to enable debugging on the server
side to see if the information logged there clarifies the problem for
you.  This is really just basic ssh troubleshooting advice since there's
nothing you've said so far that suggests this is a Cygwin-specific issue.
So reading the man pages for 'ssh' and 'sshd' should help you out.  One
note - if you end up enabling debugging on the server, don't try to start
'sshd' from the command line unless the shell you start it from is owned
by the same user that runs it as a service (i.e. SYSTEM, sshd_server, etc.)
Google for "system owned shell" if you need more information on this.
Don't take this note lightly unless you know what you're doing.  If you
do know what you're doing, you don't belong here. ;-)
