Cannot connect to chocolatey.org or any other internet site from within container

I am having a similar issue to: https://devops.stackexchange.com/questions/2155/cannot-connect-to-chocolatey-org-or-any-other-internet-site-from-within-containe/2173#2173

This is the error message:

Step 4/4 : RUN powershell -Command     iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'));     choco feature disable --name showDownloadProgress

Yes I am corporate environment.

The answer seems to suggest a "--dns 8.8.8.8" solution.... but where and how do you make this change?

I have tried a number of proxy settings of the form:
ENV ftp_proxy="http://xxx:80"
ENV https_proxy="http://xxx:80"
ENV http_proxy="http://xxx:80"
ENV no_proxy=".xxx.com"

ENV chocolateyProxyLocation="http://xxx:80"

But these don't seem to change anything.

Advice?

Thanks

Hi @ShamanTcler,

Have you solved this problem? I have the same issue and have no idea how to fix it

This kind of networking problem is often solved by using the latest Windows updates on the host and maybe current Windows base images.
