I'm trying to get setup to use github and really seem blocked.

some details of my setup:

I'm on Windows Vista.
I have cygwin installed which I need  for one of the projects I'm
consulting on.
I've installed msysgit.
I use Putty/Pageant/Plink for ssh access to a set of servers and svn
repos I have.
I've generated public/private keys using (alternatively) Putty Keygen
and ssh-keygen (from the Git Bash console) with the same results.

And what I'm seeing when I try to do my first git push up to github is
this:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname : Name or service not known
Pushing to ssh://[email protected]/zaj/blipitt.git
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

tekkub's suggested that I use openssh instead of the putty set of
tools, but that seems to conflict w cygwin. During the openssh install
it warns you not to proceed if you're already using cygwin, so I
havent switched to openssh (yet).

So, I dont know if my problem is:

a) that I'm using putty instead of openssh
b) something in the ssh url I'm using since I get the resolve hostname
error
c) something about my keys

if it is a), then I wonder if anyone has any experience or suggestions
about moving to openssh when you're using cygwin?

It's hard for me to believe that it's this hard to get this setup on
windows, so my guess is that I'm doing something stupid.

Does anyone else have experience and answers on getting setup with a
similar environment?

Thx in advance.
