RDP not connecting in Amazon EC2

I recently opened the Amazon account and got the instance running with windows. I asigned the IP, subnet, network interface and also updated the rule to allow RDP from all IPs, Generated the key pair. After doing all these I am still not able to connect to RDP and when tried to ping the elastic IP assigned it showed as 'Request timed out'. Followed the steps in the link from amazon but still not able to connect.

Is there anything i left to do?

Thank you for the comments. I just recreated the instance and problem solved.

Update:

When recreating i just reffered 2 links:

1] http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/get-set-up-for-amazon-ec2.html#create-a-vpc

Is there a reason for using the answer section for what is a basic comment. If it is the answer you could answer it (with a bit more detail) and accept it as the answer your self, etc... – mic84 – 2017-05-31T09:20:37.130

I don't know the cause of the problem and didn't had time, since it is the blank one i just recreated it. (also updated my answer with the links) – IT researcher – 2017-05-31T09:32:19.147
