Can someone help me to manually create the ever elusive DockerNAT switch correctly?

Expected behavior

Just trying to get the install of Docker for Windows to complete successfully.

Actual behavior

Various mystery failures that all point back to DockerNAT

Information

I have been trying to complete this process for a few weeks now. My laptop has been upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Actually here is the log output during installation:
[11:53:07.968][Program ][Info ] OS: Windows 10 Pro

[11:53:07.968][Program ][Info ] BuildLabName: 10586.212.amd64fre.th2_release_sec.160328-1908

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Everything I do to install Docker for Windows fails and the errors are all related to DockerNAT switch
all variations of hyperv installation and removal and various Docker updates or installs — all fail.
Here is the last portion of log of failure"

Can anyone offer insight as to how I might get verbose information surrounding the “parameter is incorrect” — like what parameter?

I don’t know if this helps, but I needed two switches.

One for external, bound to the network card.

One for docker, and it was made for me by the docker install (I think).

anyway, I needed to bind both to the docker vm using the hyper-v console.

Hi Mike

with Beta11 we update the troubleshoot page. Could you follow the instructions outlined there for resolving networking issues?

Thanks

Thanks for the note. I did the upgrade to Beta11 and followed the troubleshoot page. That page seems to have a pretty nice playbook regarding the network challenges I faced earlier.

One thing regarding that troubleshoot page----there is nothing indicating what to do about the IPV6 interfaces — should those be removed as well?
My NEW problem is that the VM wont’ start, enclosed is the log file from the last start. [BTW —I have rebooted and removed HyperV and Docker4Windows and tried all the combinations for the same lack of VM starting.]
