Azure VM ping and telnet not working

Question

I have an azure VM (resource manager) on the new portal running windows server 2012 r2 with HPC with a public IP, Currently i can login to the VM using a remote desktop client but i cannot ping myself (public ip) when logged in or ping form my local computer.

I also want to telnet on the VM to another server but always fail saying "couldnot connect to host on ip_here on port 8310"

Currently, I have enabled port 80 on the inbound security rules of my VM in azure portal and added a new rule to allow port 80 on my VM, I have also added a telnet client and server windows feature on my VM and started the service.

Still telnet and ping are not working.

Solution

You can't ping Azure VMs.

You can try this tool instead, as detailed on the url below
