Hi Mark, You can always confirm the zone you started an instance in by logging in to the AWS console and, under Instances, find the instance you're wanting to check. After selecting it, under the instance properties, the zone will be displayed for the given instance.
The security group and the key pair are rather important to get right for being able to access the instance. However, it seems you're connecting to an existing cluster and are able to access the web console, so I would think the problem is really in having started the instance in the wrong zone vs. the security key issue?
Let us know if you have any more issues,
Enis

I wondered if you might be able to help.
I have very little computing experience but have been trying to launch
a cloud instance for the last 24 hrs.
Initially I had problems launching the instance in Sahari i.e. it kept
saying that it could not connect to the relevant page.
When I have finally got top the CloudMan launch page it is giving the
following message
[Critical] Volume 'vol-dd6397db' is located in the wrong availability
zone for this instance. You MUST terminate this instance and start a new
one in zone 'us-east-1a'
despite the fact that I am sure I have started in zone 'us-east-1a.
How important are the security codes and keys?
