I’m using the default network settings inside docker (10.0.75.0, 255.255.255.0, Auto DNS) and I get the issue above. I’ve tried using the beta build of docker but that produces the same issue. I’ve also tried clean installs of both versions of docker followed by machine restarts. Under Windows Network Connections, I noticed there are two Ethernet connections, one that PD creates and one that Docker creates vEthernet. The default ethernet from PD is connected but the other says Unidentified Network. I have no VPN software running. What other suggestions may I pursue to try and resolve this issue?

I feel like this is more to do with PD than Windows at this point, perhaps there is a configuration step I’m missing in PD? Does anyone use Docker inside PD and can guide me in the right direction?

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Launch Parallels Desktop Windows 10 VM.
  2. Docker auto starts and fails.

I am experiencing your same problem, have you solved out ?
