You are actually connecting to the server using SSH. The problem is that 
pageant is not responding as it should. THe configuration is therefore a 
problem with pageant (at least that is my guess, remember I do not use 
windows so have not tested this).

Since you are connecting by SSH the issue is *not* with your key. This 
has been set up correctly.

I suspect that if you try and connect using WinCVS using the ext 
protocol instead of the pserver one you will be able to, but will be 
asked for your password.

Explore your configuration of pageant.

NB this is further than I got trying to set Stuarts machine up with 
Putty/Pageant and WinCVS. As usual doing on Linux was a breeze!
