+This guide assumes that you know a few basic things about AWS, that you have logged in and created an instance, and can navigate the AWS menus. If you have not created and instance, check this out: [[ creating_an_amazon_aws_ec2_instance|Creating an Amazon AWS EC2 Instance]]

-If your instance is running, you have to stop the instance to allow the DHCP address to return to the Amazon pool, and to allow assignment of an Elastic IP Address.

+\\
+\\
+Select the <color #ff7f27>Elastic IPs</color> Option.
+\\

+The next page shows your allocated <color #ff7f27>Elastic IPs</color> (you probably won't have any.)
+\\

+\\
+\\
+Select <color #ff7f27>Allocate New Address</color>.

+The next page seems a bit unnecessary.

+\\
+{{ :elastic_ip_004.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Select <color #ff7f27>Allocate</color>.
+\\
+\\
+Next you will see a confirmation page.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :elastic_ip_005.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Here you can see the Public <color #ff7f27>Elastic IP Address</color> you have been allocated (this is not associated with your instance  yet.) Select <color #ff7f27>Close</color>.
+\\
+\\
+Once back at the EC2 Console. You need to start your instance.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :elastic_ip_007.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Select <color #ff7f27>Actions</color>, <color #ff7f27>Instance State</color> then <color #ff7f27>Start</color>.
+\\
+\\
+You will get a prompt asking if you wish to start the instance.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :elastic_ip_008.jpg?400 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Click <color #ff7f27>Yes, Start</color>.
+\\
+\\
+Back at the EC2 Console you will see your started instance.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :elastic_ip_009.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+\\
+The IP Address should match the <color #ff7f27>Elastic IP Address</color> you were allocated when you created it earlier.
+\\
+\\
+That is it, pretty simple really. You can now connect to your <color #ff7f27>AWS EC2 Instance</color> using your new <color #ff7f27>Elastic IP Address</color>.
