Hi Brian,

I wrote a detailed reply to another user about getting SSH working with vagrant on Windows using Git as I find it's git executable to be more reliable.

I've done this on my PC after having a smooth experience on my MacBook Pro and it worked flawlessly.

I am having same situation problem. I tried the GitHub method, using git and command terminal both method.

ssh-agent -s

but when I ran this below command ssh-add C:/users/brian/.ssh/id_rsa

it gave me "could not open connection to your authentication agent" I guess this is my problem right here.

I am thinking about other method I found an article http://aryannava.com/2014/04/05/installing-vagrant-on-windows-7-and-8/ using PUTTY.

Brain, have you had a chance to read my reply in the other thread which I linked above? The method I explain works flawlessly and doesn't require the need for PuTTY and accommodates for software other than vagrant.
