every time I try to connect to my amazon instance my ssh client (Putty) times out. I have disabled all firewalls I could find (Router, windows built-in) and enabled ssh in security groups. Event log from putty: 2012-01-06 22:04:15 Looking up host "ec2-50-x-x-222.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com" 2012-01-06 22:04:15 Connecting to 50.x.x.222 port 22 2012-01-06 22:04:36 Failed to connect to 50.x.x.222: Network error: Connection timed out 2012-01-06 22:04:36 Network error: Connection timed out
What have I done wrong?

This error occurs if you created a password for your key file, but haven't manually entered the password. To resolve this error, enter the password or use ssh-agent to load the key automatically. There are a number of reasons why you might get an SSH error, like Resource temporarily unavailable.
