I am using Docker Toolbox on Win 7.

Here is the error I get:  
Error checking TLS connection: Something went wrong running an SSH command!  
command : ip addr show  
err : exit status 255  
output :

Try `docker-machine rm -y default; docker-machine create -d virtualbox default` to re-create the machine and see if it helps

Error getting IP address: Something went wrong running an SSH command!

Try removing all host only interfaces that you have in the VirtualBox GUI (Network settings). This reminds me a lot of issues in the past we’ve had with those.

Nice. Yes sometimes VBox create just doesn’t work out quite as desired.
