Unable to start: The VM couldn't get an IP address after 60 tries

[juherr]

Expected behavior

Upgrade and start.
Or provide a better message in case of issue.

Actual behavior

First, I tried the auto update which failed without any message (docker didn't start or started with the previous version).
Then, I tried a manual update which worked well but at the start I received:

Unable to start: The VM couldn't get an IP address after 60 tries

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Upgrade to beta23
2. Try to start

Fix:
I had 127.0.0.1 docker.local in my hosts file to solve a previous issue. When I remove it, docker is running well.

@juherr Thanks for your report.I tried to reproduce and added 127.0.0.1 docker.local to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and I could start The app just fine. Did you change anything else?

[juherr]

@rneugeba Maybe the fix didn't fix. I've just added the configuration in my host again, and docker is running now.

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm closing this issue as it seems to have fixed itself for you. We still have a related issue (#17) open in any case.
