I'm struggling to get an EC2 just to connect to itself in a VPC (using inbound rules in its security group). That should be the simplest network topology I could come up with to test things out. Am I missing something when it comes to Private IPs? (are they special?), I thought Private IP's would only be visible from within a VPC, and this EC2 instance is within a VPC, and I'm not crossing any VPC boundaries either (since it's trying to connect to itself).
