I am trying to establish remote desktop connection to my Amazon EC2 Ubuntu instance from Windows 8.1(local system), followed all of the following steps mentioned in amazon aws docs

At 16th step it says

On Windows, open the Remote Desktop Connection client, paste the fully qualified name of your Amazon EC2 instance for the Computer, and then click Connect

When ever I try this step I am getting error as remote access to the connection are not enabled , remote computer is turned off, remote computer is not available on the network

tried connecting through public DNS, path to pem key in my local system, and Instance ID too.

I am new to working with aws!
