title: Can't connect to new Azure SQL Server instance
body: <p>I've just spun up an instance Azure SQL server. I can connect to it from the Azure Portal, but I get a timeout error when trying to connect with SQL Management Studio (and other methods):</p>
  
  <pre><code>Cannot connect to *server*,*port*.
  
  Additional information:
      A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The semaphore timeout period has expired.)
      (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 121)
          The semaphore timeout period has expired
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've been searching for a solution but the only thing I find about the error message is that the database is under heavy load, which seems unlikely concidering it was just created!</p>
  
  <p>Anybody know what can cause this problem?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
