First, I don't think you needed to install the client release.

Second, you don't mention starting up sshd.  Make sure you have done so.

Third,  PuTTY is trying to access telnet, not SSH.  In the session screen, 
make sure you have SSH selected as your protocol.  It should connect to 
port 22.

Fourth, I'd recommend logging in as a user, then using "su" to change to root.
