sshd service on Win2003 not accepting connection

Hi,

I have followed all instruction and successfully installed Cygwin +
OpenSSH 4.3p2 on Windows 2003 server. I am able to sftp/ssh into the
server after manually starting up sshd using 'cygrunsrv -S sshd'. The
sshd service is also added into Windows services by the installation
script and run as ./sshd_server user. However, when I restart machine, I
can see that sshd is running in windows services and using 'cygrunsrv -Q
sshd', but I just couldn't sftp/ssh into the server. I got a
"ssh_exchange_identification" error (please see the debug log of my
sftp). I have to manually restart the sshd service in windows services,
only then can I sftp/ssh into the server successfully.

#sftp -v jpldp@155.161.144.199

Does anyone have similar experience and solution to this? Thanks.
