    Sounds exactly like my problem, but I have no solution.

    I'm running a mix of about 12 stations running XP and 12 running 2000.
    The XP machines run copssh (based on cygwin) like a charm. The Windows
    2000 all eventually refuse connection exactly as you describe. After a
    while cygrunsrv runs the cpu usage way up and I've had to uninstall. My
    solution... I'm gradually migrating to XP, as I consider ssh essential.
