Cannot access the server after adding additional external ip address to server

Question

Hello Team,

I have deployed a windows service .net application on windows server 2008, which I can access the application using localhost and server ip address in server environment.But I am willing to access the server outside the server then I have added additional ip to my server from control pannel>chnaged adapter settings>advanced>added additional ip address and DNS entry, DHCP and default gateway are same.

After doing the above, I am unable to rdp to it complaining the server is not in network. I understand in AZURE VM ware I guess ip address needs to assign to server in some where but to do anything I am unable to connect to server itself.

Please suggest 

thanks,

Hi,

Could it be that you no longer have an Endpoint for RDP, in your Azure VM?

Each virtual machine that is created should have a remote desktop endpoint for the VM at port 3389. If this endpoint is deleted then a new endpoint must be created. The public port can be any available port number. The private port (the port on the VM) must be 3389.

You can manage your VM´s endpoints using the New Management Portal, like it is demonstrated here: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/windows/how-to-guides/setup-endpoints/

Hope this helps!

Based on the header of this discussion wondering how you could add an additional IP address to a VM server. Can you please elaborate.
