This is my guess:
Your Cygwin ssh client and the server you are connecting to have probably
decided to use SSH2 protocol but you have not appended your
~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub to the servers ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2.
Either stick to SSH1 by using the -1 option to the ssh client or transfer
contents of ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub to the servers ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2.
I guess this because its happened to me.
You should be able to debug this by using the -v option in ssh.
Good luck.
