Azure connection string exception “network-related orinstance-specific error occurred”

Question

When attempting to connect to SQL Azure with the following connection string

Server=tcp:SERVER.database.windows.net,1433;Database=DBNAME;User ID=USER

Answer 1

Embarrassed to say that that this issue was caused because I fat fingered the server name. Apparently, I really am terrible at solitary programming these days. Thank you to all of the comments above which caused me to keep asking myself what am I missing.
