Is this from Linux or from m$? Please don't be using root as a normal
login account.

That might be correct. I don't know how putty is configged.

Try that CD. It'll autorun in m$ when you start it up.

You do need to restart the ssh server when you make configuration changes
to it.

This should work on all GNU/Linux boxen, I think:
/etc/init.d/sshd restart

RedHat has something like:
service ssh restart
