The first thing you need to try to diagnose is whether: a. the far end is falling back to password access b/c it cannot authenticate the public key you're sending b. the pc thinks the local private key requires a password for access
if you can try an ssh connection using the keys with verbose mode turned on, you might get more insight. It should (ha ha) be pretty much the same command as on the mac. sorry, many details missing here, I know, but maybe it gives you a diagnostic start.
