I am trying to integrate Azure OpenAI GPT-4.0 with Azure AI Search Service via the Azure AI Studio interface, but I keep encountering the following error:

"403: A Virtual Network is configured for this resource. Please use the correct endpoint for making requests. Check https://aka.ms/cogsvc-vnet for more details."

My Azure AI Search Service is set to Public Network Access from all networks, with no additional networking configurations. The service has an index built on a blob storage account, and I have also deployed OpenAI GPT-4.0 with a new hub in the updated interface.

Despite not having any VNet configurations, I am unable to establish the connection. Could you help me understand why this error occurs and guide me on how to resolve it?

    Hi @ALB AI

    I understand that you're encountering an issue with integrate Azure OpenAI GPT-4.0 with Azure AI Search Service via the Azure AI Studio interface Were you able to enable the private endpoint to the storage service. If you did, please disconnect and delete the private endpoint, then check once you have re-established the connection.
