The VM couldn't get an IP address after 60 tries

[maxday]

Hi,
First, thanks for your work, I've seen a great demo at DevoxxFR and I can't wait to use it :)

I'm running Docker for Windows Version: 1.12.0-beta21 on a WIN10 VM.
Hyper-V is activated and Windows services are OK.
The MobyLinuxVM is well created but Docker fails to start because it cannot get an IP for the VM.

The DNS server radio button configuration is set to "automatic".
I've tried to reboot, reset to factory, uninstall/reinstall,
I've also tried to set the a fixed DNS.

Error :
Failed to start VM "MobyLinuxVM": The VM couldn't get an IP address after 60 tries

Hi @maxday, thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm afraid running Docker for Windows inside a VM is not something that we officially support. Some many things can break.
However, we can try to help you.

• Can you tell us which Hypervisor you are using to run the VM (Vbox, vmware...)?
• Is it configured for nested virtualisation?

ping @rneugeba Can you provide insights?

[maxday]

Hi @dgageot ,
Thanks for your quick answer.
It's running with VMWare and the nested virtualisation is enabled.
Feel free to ask if you need any further info

[dgageot]

@cuikangyi Do you have a log or diagnostic id to share?

[TaylorBarrick]

I have the problem describe above and here is a log file and diagnostic ID

I have same problem.

It looks like problem of Windows 10 Redstone 1 update (build 14393) with combination of latest stable docker version.

I have enabled windows features like "Containers", "Hyper-V" and "Windows subsystem for linux (beta)".
I have restarted computer. I tried to reinstall docker, reset to factory defaults.

Nothing helped.

And according this it looks like problem of Redstone 1. https://forums.docker.com/t/failed-to-start-vm-mobylinuxvm-the-vm-couldnt-get-an-ip-address-after-60-tries/19551/7

Have you solved this somehow ?
Thank you

@kukjevov @maxday @TaylorBarrick I'm closing this issue as a duplicated of #54. While #54 is newer it has more comments on it. I've copied and pasted your reports in #54 so that they don't fall through the cracks.

[rsaliy]

It isn't working for me too
Crash report BF641EE2-6BEE-405C-B6DD-E5489E163E2C/2016-12-14_06-46-25

[rn]

@rsaliy the fix is only on the Beta channel, not on the stable channel. Could you try the latest Beta?

[d3x0r]

I've been searching all over for 'beta channel' and have failed.
I have this issue still... so maybe in a month beta isn't relesaed?

I don't see it attempting to get anything.....

[rn]

@d3x0r we release betas almost weekly. The latest is available for download from the main Docker for Windows page: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/

[d3x0r]

Okay beta does get an address and seems to work correctly
