Check the server /etc/ssh/sshd_config about the default Protocol. eg:

	Protocol 2, 1

will set ssh2 as the default protocol. If that's the case then perhaps you're 
trying to do DSAAuthentication rather than RSAAuthentication. If you're doing 
DSAAuth you need to create a file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 in your home dir on
the server. Also note the RSA and DSA keys are different. RSA usually have
files name "identity.pub" and "identity", while DSA have files named
"id_dsa.pub" and "id_dsa".

If something like this appears to be the problem then read the man page ;)
