I would generate a key "ssh-keygen -t rsa" on a linux machine, cp to the 
server, cat id_rsa.pub>>.ssh/authorized_keys2 and see if that gets the 
job done.
The windows machine adds additional complexity that is hard to debug, 
get the linux part working first.
Make sure the permissions are correct in ~/.ssh/  , that is very 
important. .ssh/authorized_keys2 must be 0600.
