InvalidOperation: (Renci.SshNet.SshClient:SshClient)

Hi,
I've installed (by downloading .zip) and imported the Posh-ssh 2.2 module on Windows 2012 R2 machine.

I'm unable to establish an ssh session. I tried with different devices and of them throws the same error. The following error appears. I'm able to establish telnet to 22 port. The same code works fine on my PC (Windows 10).

PS D:> New-SSHSession -ComputerName "192.37.127.128" -Credential $creds -ErrorAction Stop -AcceptKey -ConnectionTimeout 10000 -Verbose

VERBOSE: Using SSH Username and Password authentication for connection.
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (Renci.SshNet.SshClient:SshClient) [New-SSHSession], TargetInvocationException

Not seen that error before. Did you unprotect the zip and changed execution policy? Also did you upgrade the version of PS on the server to 5?

I'm using PS 5.1.
This is my execution policy. I believe it's default.
Yes, I unblocked (Unblock-File Posh-sh.zip) the file.

PS D:\> Get-ExecutionPolicy -List

        Scope ExecutionPolicy
        ----- ---------------
MachinePolicy       Undefined
   UserPolicy       Undefined
      Process    RemoteSigned
