Azure virtual server RDP re enable after shutdown

I've stopped my virtual server and then started it. after restart i lost the ability to access remotly to my server (rdp). i have the needed end point for remote access but is still not working. i have tried to : 1) delete end point and re-create it. 2) scale up my server forward and backward.

still it look like it can be two things: 1) rdp service after server start is down 2) no firewall rule is created.

notify that after server was started it's IP Address was changed!!!

Thanks

Solution
    1. Use server name not IP, as IP may change.
    2. Make sure that you use external port specified in the endpoint.
    3. Make sure that your private port is set to 3389.
    4. Make sure TCP is selected as the protocol.
