ssh between F16 Xfce and Cygwin

Hello:

Prior to 26apr12, I was able to run ssh/scp between my 2 F16 Xfce boxes, 
a F14 Gnome box, and Cygwin running on an XP box.

Today I was converting the F14 to F16 Xfce and noticed that I could no 
longer ssh into the Cygwin XP box. I checked the other two F16 boxes and 
they couldn't either. Those two machines have not been yum updated since 
I was last able to ssh/scp.

I ran another check and discovered that, from Cygwin, I could ssh into 
all three of the Linux boxes (now all F16).

Pings between all machines work (static IPs). The error I am getting is 
port 22: Connection refused.

The iptables on the converted machine is the factory default.

The only thing that I know happened was there were a whole bunch of 
Windows updates that affected XP after Win7 sp1 was released. However, I 
checked all the hosts/IP settings and nothing has changed.

I looked in /var/log/messages and didn't see anything ... am willing to 
bet I've forgotten where to look.

Since the problem "appears" to be on the F16 side, I wanted to ask this 
list if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks in advance,
Paul
