boot2docker on windows - Unable to pull images

Question

I am trying to explore dockers. I have got boot2docker installed on my windows machine. My machine is behind corporate firewall.

When I execute the simple command like the one below, I get the error that prevents images being pulled. Any help here ? Even when I changes the dns nameserver ( in /etc/resolv.conf) to 8.8.8.8 , I have the same issue.

I looked at other issues posted on same subject . Did not get any help . Please help

Error

docker@boot2docker:~$ docker run -it --rm tomcat:8.0 Unable to find image 'tomcat:8.0' locally

Pulling repository tomcat Get link : dial tcp: loo kup index.docker.io on 10.0.2.3:53: read udp 10.0.2.3:53: i/o timeout

Answer 1

When your host is on the VPN, your boot2docker-vm VM may not have access to the internet at all; in particular if your connection is bridged. You can try NAT .
