title: How to open a non standard port on windows azure virtual machine
body: <p>I can't seem to figure this out and hoping someone can give me some pointers.  I'm unable to open a port on a Azure VM.  After a fresh provision of a Windows 2008 VM I've disabled the Windows Software Firewall for all networks.  Next i went to the azure management portal and added a TCP endpoint for port 9090 (both public and private).</p>
  
  <p>While connected to the server via RDP i visit <a href="http://www.canyouseeme.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.canyouseeme.org/</a> to test if port 9090 is open.  But it comes back as error cannot see the port 9090.</p>
  
  <p>As far as I can tell this is a standalone VM not connected to any domains or special networks.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas what is missing?</p>
