"Unable to associated Elastic IP with cluster" in Eclipse Plugin Tutorial

Question

Hi all, I am currently trying to evaluate AWS for my company and was trying to follow the tutorials on the web. http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=2241

However I get the below error during startup of the server instance:

Unable to associated Elastic IP with cluster: Unable to detect that the Elastic IP was orrectly associated.

java.lang.Exception: Unable to detect that the Elastic IP was correctly associated

Then after a while, another error occur: Unable to publish server configuration files: Unable to copy remote file after trying 4 timeslocal file: 'XXXXXXXX/XXX.zip'

Results from first attempt:
Unexpected exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
root cause: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

Can anyone point me to what I'm doing wrong? I followed the tutorials and the video tutorials on youtube exactly.

Best Regards ~Jeffrey

Problem has been resolved, it is due to the Elastic IP being assigned to the Server on creation. Eclipse is unable to connect to the server if it is used.
