Your keys might not have been generated/planted in either hosts.
Normally each user wishing to use SSH with RSA or DSA authentication runs
this (ssh-keygen -t rsa ) once to create the authentication key in $HOME/.ssh/identity, $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa or $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa. Additionally, the system administrator may use this to generate host keys, as seen in /etc/rc.

whats your infra like? any firewall between your subnets? or are they sitting on the same segment? What are you using for SSH on the windows side? SSH.COM? F-Secure? OpenSSH? How did you install the public key? Was it in the correct format? Different products require the public key to be in different formats and different locations. If you need to convert the public key format, there is a '-e' option on ssh-keygen which will convert from OpenSSH format to SECSH format

My assumption now is that the ping to your gateway at the least is working. And you can at least ping the ip of your Windows machine from your solaris box...

anyway, go thru this article first:

Meanwhile I will see if I can figure out what can be done to resolve this
