Well, the original user stated that he had copied a key from his Linux server
to his Windows Client box. That would indicate that whatever type of key NX
creates is immaterial, since he is trying to use a key from his local system.
However after reading back over the message chain, he seems to be copying a
different key than the type that you specified that you were using. He said
he is copying "client.id_dsa.key" to his Windows machine and you said that
you were using "server.id_dsa.pub.key." You appear to be using a public key
while he appears to be copying a private key to the client machine.
Perhaps this suggests where the failure lies.
