title: TCP connection to windows Azure VM
body: <p>I have an Azure VM that I can't connect to. I have done the following steps. What am I missing here?</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Created an endpoint (port 1431) in the portal</li>
  <li>Created a rule for port 1431 in the firewall on the VM</li>
  <li>Started a server (TCP Test Tool) that is listening on port 1431</li>
  <li>Tried to connect locally with a client (port 1431) on the VM - Works as expected.</li>
  <li>Tried to connect remotely to the VM - FAILS</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>If I try to telnet port 3389 (rdp) it works fine.</p>
  
  <p>I have restarted the machine.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Thanx
