In Windows Azure role, I cannot ping out

D:\Users\foglight>ping www.google.com

Pinging www.l.google.com [209.85.143.104] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 209.85.143.104:
 Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

I google it and found some one suggest run below command, but even after run it, I still can not ping out

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="ICMPv6" dir=in action=allow enable=yes protocol=icmpv6

Please someone tell me the reason and how to walkaround.

I don't believe you can do this. Traffic leaving the data center goes through the load balancer, and the load balancer only routes TCP-based traffic.
