Unable to executeStart: Failed to start VM "MobyLinuxVM": The VM couldn't get an IP address after 60 tries

Expected behavior

Docker for Windows starts correctly, the Virtual Switch “DockerNAT” works correctly and my VM Network Adapter gains an IP address

Actual behavior

Docker for Windows attempts to gain an IP address for the VM 60 times and is unable to.

Information

  • the output of:
    • DockerDebugInfo.ps1 using Powershell on Windows - I cannot attach this as a file (new member) and it is too large to paste in
  • host distribution and version - Windows 10 Professional

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Start Docker for Windows
  2. Wait for failure in IP assignment

Here is my Docker for Windows log

Hi

We recently updated the troubleshoot page with details on how to deal with some networking issues. Could you try the steps outlined there?

Thanks
Rolf

Thanks for advice.

Unfortunately I have already gone through the troubleshooting docs for Windows unless there is somewhere else I should be looking other than https://beta.docker.com/docs/windows/troubleshoot/

I decided it couldn’t hurt to go through the steps again that related to networking. I removed the virtual switches via Powershell, there were no lingering IP addresses, I removed any stale NAT configuration and I have no other VMs running in Hyper-V.

I ran Docker for Windows again and experienced the same behavior as I listed above. Here is my log from this most recent attempt.

Here is some additional information which might be helpful.

  • I had VirtualBox installed for awhile but removed it when I got the beta invite for Docker for Windows
  • I have 2 VPNs installed on my machine. Checkpoitnt VPN and OpenVPN.
  • I am running Windows 10 Pro via bootcamp on a Macbook Pro

Are there any diagnostic commands you would like me to run to see if there is something conflicting with Hyper-V being able to assign an IP address to the Docker container?

Hi @sgwatdh

I suspect that one or both of the installed VPN softwares are interfering with our networking setup (they tend to configure DHCP/DNS servers even if they are not activated). We are working on a more robust networking solution which should work in these environments. We are getting close and it should be available in one of the next Betas.

Rolf

@rneugeba Do you think uninstalling my VPN software would prevent this issue from appearing? Is this the type of thing that would be worth my time to manually troubleshoot or is this something that is probably beyond my ability to configure away via settings menus?

Thanks for all the work on this - it’s very exciting and I look forward to when days without containers are distant memories.

I have this same behavior on my box which has Cisco VPN installed, but only when I’m actually connected to the VPN. In case that helps to pinpoint a viable solution to this problem.

Could you try Beta14 released yesterday. It removed the DHCP server completely and switched on VPN mode by default. We’d be very interested to hear if that works for you as we don’t have access to a Cisco VPN setup.
Thanks for the report
Rolf

I just updated to the newest version and Docker was finally able to initialize! Awesome! Thanks to the team for all the work.

Unfortunately I was not able to run all of the examples in the documentation

So when I try to run docker run hello-world it cannot connect to any external source. I think this is caused by the fact that the Virtual Switch that is created is set to Internal Only.

I changed the Virtual Switch to External Network and selected my network adapter from the list. I then applied my changes and tried to run docker run hello-world again but the output was the same as above.

Do you know if you’re behind a proxy?

I am not. And I double checked my settings in Windows.

Are there any diagnostic commands I can run to help shed light on the issue?

Running ipconfig /renew does not seem to finish executing now. Not sure if that is related or maybe I just need to restart my PC.

C:\Users\sean>ipconfig /renew

Windows IP Configuration # <- I don't see anything after this line in the console

I have upgraded to the newest docker for windows

PS C:\> docker --version
Docker version 1.11.2, build b9f10c9

The Docker UI says 1.11.2-beta15 (build: 4450)

Here is the error I am seeing when trying to run docker run hello-world

PS C:\> docker run hello-world
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally

PS C:\>

I saw the changelog for the new version and was hoping the networking/vpn fixes would solve all of this for me, but unfortunately not yet.

I tried running docker login first as mentioned in another thread. Here was the result

e:\dev>docker login

I uploaded my diagnostic from the docker UI and it gave me this id 31BCF71F-0192-4841-9F1D-68E04EA392DF/2016-06-14_23-41-41

Are there any diagnostic commands I can run to help provide more information about my environment?

Thanks!

UPDATE-----

I modified my docker settings to use 8.8.8.8 as my DNS and it seems to have fixed things!

Hello from Docker.
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

Can anyone explain why this would fix things? Is this a docker issue or an issue with my local environment (OS/network adapter/vpns/router/isp)?

For me, it required turning on ipv6 on my link to the internet. Apparently the vm expects an ipv6 address…

If docker isn’t running and you think you’re having trouble with a new Windows update, download the installer for beta16 from beta.docker.com/docs and install it.

Ironically, installing beta16 breaks my docker installation.

Had this error pop up this morning.
Windows 10 Pro & Hyper V Install (Uninstalled Oracle’s VM before the upgrade)
I do have Cisco’s VPN 5.0.07.0440 Installed (Can’t remove it for work)

Running Docker 1.12.0-rc4-beta20 Build 5579

Solution: Reset to Defaults, (Docker then started)
After Resetting, (no reboot) Reset Docker DNS to 8.8.8.8 to reapply this fix for a different issue with pulling containers.
