ISSUE: Just trying to get a simple ping to work
While I am connected to the internet through my regular router. My containers (ubuntu based) can access the network just fine. I can ping google.com and 8.8.8.8 However, when I need to access a private network and connect to my Airport Express router, my container can never ping any of the devices on that private network, while the host machine can access these devices just fine. Typically I’ll try to ping 172.17.0.32 From the MAC side, everything works fine, but from the ubuntu container, no workey :< When I switch back to the internet router, all is back to normal again.
In both cases the host connects to the router via DHCP… except when I try to connect via wired connection.
I Have tried the following:
–creating a new network on the subnet used by the private router and connecting the container. (same result)
–connecting via wired and wireless connections. (same result)
–I have restarted Docker after connecting to the private network and then rerun the container. (same result)

I must confess I am no TCP/IP guru and have not been able to find any reports of similar behavior. I can only assume I am doing something basically wrong.
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas or has seen anything similar.
Thank You
