Turns out my crystal ball was wrong ;-)

No, actually "this way round" seems easier. You are using Cygwin for the
SSH client (you might want to use PuTTY if you aren't taking advantage
of other Cygwin features). 

(1) What happens if you invoke the ssh command on the Windows box?
    (you should get a shell on the RedHat box).

(2) Can you see activity on the redhat's box sshd or auth log file (found
    somewhere around /var/log -- places to look would be sshd.log,
    auth.log, daemon.log syslog)?
