title: ec2: cannot open port 5080 on windows instance
body: <p>I'm pretty new with ec2, firewall settings etc, so I might be missing something obvious, but:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I've created a 'getting started with windows' instance</li>
  <li>with a security group that has 5080 specified</li>
  <li>and is associated with an elastic ip</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>On the instance I have a red5 server running. when I run the server it on 127.0.0.1:5080, i can access it from a browser on  that instance, so I know the server works.</p>
  
  <p>When I run it on the elastic IP however, I can't connect to it, neither from within the instance nor from outside.</p>
  
  <p>when I run telnet 75.101.147.86 5080 from the outside world i get 'connection refused'</p>
  
  <p><strong>Any</strong> clues on how to debug this would be highly appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,</p>
  
  <p>Martin</p>
