Ok so I have been trying to get putty to run on windows 7, with very little luck.
Here is the event log from putty:
2012-08-09 15:23:28 Looking up host "redacted ip"
2012-08-09 15:23:28 Connecting to redacted ip port 22
2012-08-09 15:23:49 Failed to connect to redacted ip: Network error: Connection timed out
2012-08-09 15:23:49 Network error: Connection timed out
So far I have ensured that my routers firewall is off, turned off my firewall and anti-virus (including windows), tried various suggestions from Google including other SSH clients to no avail. I have ensured that both my router and computer are cleared for port 22. I have used netstat as well, and found nothing blocked.
The only thing that has had any success is booting windows into safe mode with networking.
That has gotten it to work but outside of that no luck. So my best guess is it is something that I am not thinking of that is blocking it. So anyone have any ideas as to what it could be? Any advice would be appreciated.
edit
I have used the same user in safe mode and not in safemode. The account I am using is marked as the owner of putty in taskmanager. Trying it as telnet gave no further results. Using nmap it properly shows port 22 as tcp open and ssh. I have also used filezilla to connect to a ftp server in the past with no trouble.

1You said that you've turned off your firewall, but you didn't say which firewall. Do you mean Windows Firewall? Also, turning off your router's firewall is normally a very bad idea unless you're in some kind of testing environment. – boot13 – 2015-07-19T13:24:41.403
Are you able to establish a connection using telnet? Type
telnet <ip address> 22at a dos prompt. – GeekyDaddy – 2015-10-16T01:45:40.143Can you Are you running as the same user in safe mode and not safe mode? Have you made sure by seeing the owner of the putty.exe process in taskamanger? What about simply doing a 'telnet redacted_ip 22' from the command line to see if you can connect to the port that way? Finally, have you tried portscanning from your windows 7 machine with nmap,

Oh yeah in the past I have also used FileZilla to connect to a ftp server with no trouble. – Balthasar – 2012-08-10T18:05:30.850
I suspect there's something else running that is blocking ports (which I think you've figured out). Have a look at Autoruns from SysInternals.com to see what's running on your computer. – None – 2012-08-12T05:33:34.213
2Two things that would help rule out some options: Try connecting to another SSH server at port 22 (if available) within PuTTY with your user logged in normally. It will help us understand if it's connection specific. Then, I'd try another computer running PuTTY with the same settings, within your network connecting to the original server. It will help us determine if anything external to the original system is creating the problem. – Nick – 2012-08-16T17:59:21.803
Which Anti-Virus program is installed? McAfee by chance? I had similar issues on friends PC, similar safe mode attempts. Had it all disabled etc. and REFUSED to work. As soon as I uninstalled McAfee, worked perfect. Not ideal but if you are using that AV, worth a shot. – Kerry – 2012-12-09T03:57:03.263
