AWS - I setup VPN/Customer gateway - Can no longer access Ec2 instance on external/elastic IP

Hi,

I have a single Ec2 instance on a VPC with an elastic IP which I host a web application on. It runs on Windows sever 2012. I remote desktop to the server to manage it.

I recently setup a customer gateway, a virtual private gateway and a VPN to the VPC my host runs on from our corporate network using the following guide http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_VPN.html#delete-vpn

I passed the config file it generated over to our network team but I soon realised the connection over the external/elastic IP went down. I can no longer ping, RDP or access the web application.

I've reversed the changes by deleting the customer gateway, virtual private gateway and VPN but the connection has not come back up.
I cannot seem to figure out how to get this back up and running again.

Thanks for any help

Sorry I should have came back to the question when I resolved it.

The default route was deleted from the route table (0.0.0.0) - Adding it back in resolved the issue.
