I've disabled the firewall:

netsh firewall set opmode disable

I've made sure to accept all inbound and all outbound connections:

Is there anything that I should be installing or adding on to the server?

I am able to RDP into this computer without issue to the external IP address.

How do I get a connection to the internet from this machine?

There are actually two machines. Machine DC has no issues whatsoever with connecting to the internet, while machine Free1 cannot (although I can RDP into it).

The following are the settings for DC (the working machine):

While, these are the settings for the machine Free1, which does not have any internet connectivity (meaning that I cannot browse to any websites, or for example I am unable to run a Chrome install that requires an internet connection. How did I get the EXE onto the machine in the first place? I am able to copy and paste files from my local machine to these ec2 machines [regardless of whether they have internet connectivity]).

enter image description here

You are going to ask me how did I get the CHROME installation file on that machine? I can just copy and paste files from either virtual machine and my local physical machine to the virtual machines.

How do I get internet connectivity for Free1?

Also, a few more data points:

  1. Both machines have been assigned the same security group.
  2. Both machines are on the same subnet
  3. Both machines have private and public IPs
  4. I am able to RDP from my local physical machine into the ec2s.

  • Um, have you actually tried connecting to the Internet? – Michael Hampton Dec 05 '14 at 03:13
  • @Fergus in response to your question http://screencast.com/t/HjgZ2xc0FJ – Alex Gordon Dec 05 '14 at 04:57
  • @MichaelHampton Yes, I've tried with several browsers – Alex Gordon Dec 05 '14 at 15:35
  • What is your output from `ping google.com` and `ping 8.8.4.4`? If it's not the security group restricting outgoing, then something may be funky with your DNS settings. – Nathan C Dec 05 '14 at 16:03
  • @NathanC what is 8.8.4.4.? – Alex Gordon Dec 05 '14 at 16:11
  • @NathanC i am getting Ping request could not find host google.com. Please check the name and try again ---------- for both of those pings – Alex Gordon Dec 05 '14 at 16:16
  • @NathanC it looks like you're exactly right. i've changed DNS to point to the other machine and it started to work,. i need to figure out how to force the machine to get its DNS settings from amazon and not from the other machine – Alex Gordon Dec 05 '14 at 16:25
  • 8.8.4.4 is one of Google's DNS servers...just memorable enough to use for testing. :) – Nathan C Dec 06 '14 at 14:46
  • they must have paid a lot of money for it! i decided to try out azure and having weird issues with gateway: http://serverfault.com/questions/649746/user-account-not-listed-in-gateway-or-expecting-ip-address – Alex Gordon Dec 07 '14 at 02:18
