Connect to a new Azure on a MSSQL endpoint

Hello all,

I recently created an Azure VM from the gallery using the SQL 2014 CTP and Server 2012 R2. Now I would like to connect to it from my local SSMS but can't figure it out. I assume I need to create a MSSQL endpoint on the VM which I did, and I need to set up a SQL Authenticated password, also done.

Now in local SSMS, What is the server name? Is it not <machine name>.<dns name>?

I can't even ping the dns name. Should I not be able to?

Thanks
