I have a website running on a Windows 2008 Server EC2 instance. The website is working fine, but I'm unable to remote-desktop into it.
I have an Elastic IP associated with the instance:
# telnet 999.99.999.999 80
Trying 999.99.999.999...
Connected to ec2-999-99-999-999.compute-1.amazonaws.com (999.99.999.999).
Escape character is '^]'.
