Another reason might be that your machines use different ssh protocol versions, it happened to me once. Under putty, look into the folder Connection/SSH. Under Linux, the info should be in /etc/sshd_config. Note that ssh- Protocol 1 and Protocol 2 are not compatible.

In other windows computers, with putty, I am not able to connect. It looks it accept connection, as it ask for the password, but it is always incorrect.
Known problem:Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to include the following line: PasswordAuthentication yes
Although it looks like a linux client and putty are using the same authentication mechanism - they are not. If someone could explain this better than I, I'd be thankful.
