to have cygwin openssh server active you need
after the installation of the openssh package:

- run /usr/bin/ssh-host-config to configure sshd the service
- start the service with "cygrunsrv -S sshd"

as it seems you have not done so, likely you have another
ssh server than cygwin one running on your pc.
