amazon VPC - Unable to ping neighbour IP
===

I am using a similar configurations as in [IPSec VPN between Amazon VPC and Linux Server][1], but I am ubable to ping the gateways IPs

* 169.254.255.1
* 169.254.255.2

The main reference article was: http://openfoo.org/blog/amazon_vpc_with_linux.html

The Amazon VPN shows **PHASE1_1_TIMEOUT** for both the tunnels.

I am not able to bring it up. Can someone please suggest what might go wrong.
