Hi,
I came across strange issue. When I run a container on my Windows 10 or Server 2019 in process isolation mode it seems the DNS from within the container doesn’t work. When I run the same container in hyperv mode all works just fine.
Container example:
ARG BASE=nanoserver
ARG VERSION=1809-amd64
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/${BASE}:${VERSION}
ENTRYPOINT ["ping"]
CMD ["www.google.com"]
Build as:
docker build -t ping .
When executed in hyperv mode I get this output:
docker run --isolation=hyperv ping www.google.com
Pinging www.google.com [74.125.193.105] with 32 bytes of data:

When executed in process isolation mode it fails:
docker run --isolation=process ping www.google.com
Ping request could not find host www.google.com. Please check the name and try again.
When executed with an IP address instead of host name it also works fine:
docker run --isolation=process ping 8.8.8.8
Pinging 8.8.8.8 with 32 bytes of data:

I checked and in both cases the container is attached to the same network (nat) on my computer. Comparing the output from docker image inspect doesn’t show any significant differences except in places where you’d expect (like time, name, etc.) but no difference in network settings.
In both cases the output from ipconfig from inside the container looks very similar:
Hyperv:
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::92c:5fb5:ed93:f552%4
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.220.121
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.240.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.208.1
Process:
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::8d1e:34fd:f32e:ec73%66
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.214.233
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.240.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.208.1
Any ideas? Am I missing some configuration or command line parameter here?
Thank you.
