Grief: installing OpenSSH on Cygwin / WindowsServer2003

Hi,
I followed directions (/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README) as best I
could, helped out by a couple of other web sources along the way. I
know almost nothing about Windows administration.
Trying to connect with PuTTY gives a "server unexpectedly closed
connectin" error.
Here is where things stand:
-- there is a process /usr/bin/ssh running in Cygwin. I don't have a
client running; could this possibly be sshd??
-- I *can* ssh into the same machine from mintty.
-- the machine on which Cygwin and ssh are installed is a
WinServer2003, **running as a VM on a WindowsServer2003 host
machine**. I don't know whether this is relevant or not (i.e. whether
additional configuration is required on the host OS).
Can someone suggest a next troubleshooting step?
Thanks,
Chap
