Windows container failed to start with error, “failed to create endpoint on network nat: HNS failed with error : Failed to create endpoint.”

Question

I have been trying Windows Containers on windows server 2016 TP5. Suddenly I started getting error while running a container with port maping option -p 80:80

Answer 1

For me these steps solved the problem:

Stop-Service docker
Get-ContainerNetwork | Remove-ContainerNetwork
Get-NetNat | Remove-NetNat
Get-VMSwitch | Remove-VMSwitch
Start-Service docker
