I have gone thru all the steps documented to set up DB on Azure SQL Server
Firewall - Endpoints - TCP - SQL Authentication etc etc
However when I try to access the database from A client PC, I get the following
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I have tried to psping the server, this works for RDE but not for the endpoint I used for port 1433 (57500).
2 days later now - and seem to be no nearer a resoltion
