Azure virtual machines in the same network can't see each other

I created a virtual network in Azure and added few VMs in it. My expectation was to Ping/Access each machine from the other machine in the same network. However, machines don't seem to recognize each other.

Solution 1:

If by "don't seem to recognize each other" you mean you can't send and receive ICMP pings that's because ICMP is disabled on Azure VMs.

Try opening a TCP socket on the desired port running the service to which you want to verify connectivity instead:

PS C:\Windows\system32> New-Object Net.Sockets.TcpClient "192.168.10.10", 8043


Client              : System.Net.Sockets.Socket
Available           : 0
Connected           : True
ExclusiveAddressUse : False
ReceiveBufferSize   : 65536
SendBufferSize      : 65536
ReceiveTimeout      : 0
SendTimeout         : 0
LingerState         : System.Net.Sockets.LingerOption

NoDelay             : False
