Still same error after switching explicitly to iptables-legacy in debian 11. FWIW, I'm also passing the following dns servers to my containers via docker daemon.json:
# This one is the WSL net interface as seen by windows. It cannot be pinged from container.
nameserver 172.29.224.1
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
I've tried putting the google and cloudflare dns first in this order, to no avail.
The problem was that even though I had reverted to iptables-legacy in Debian, I still had iptables: "false" in my docker daemon.json. On removing that, docker can use its default iptables impl and work with Debian Bullseye. Now, my containers can access "the internet".
I realize that your post indicated to use iptables: false as a way to get debian wsl2 instances to work with docker. But that never worked for me for some reason.
I had the same issue with Ubuntu in WSL2. Removing iptables: "false" from the daemon.json and switching to iptables-legacy did the trick. No full reboot was necessary, running "wsl --shutdown" in powershell + reopening the ubuntu shell did the trick. Thanks!

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

The issue is more easily reproduced on my system by just running ping commands inside the latest alpine image:

Yeah, I have actually changed the instructions, removing the iptables:false, as using iptables-legacy seems like the right way to do it.
