Docker on Windows File Sharing Blocked by Firewall

TL;DR

From the docker container running on the VM I can ping all my host IPs (such as 10.10.10.1 and 172.24.185.209) but I can't ping 10.0.75.1. My guess is that once I can figure out why I can't reach the 10.0.75.1 network adapter the share issue will be resolved.

I have gone through this post that described the same issue and tried the various suggestions without success. I have tried the following:

1. Set the Docker interface to be private using the following:
   • Set-NetConnectionProfile -interfacealias "vEthernet (DockerNAT)" -NetworkCategory Private
2. Telnet'ed successfully to 10.0.75.1 445
3. Shared the c drive and checked that I could access it from \10.0.75.1\c
4. Turned-off the firewall for "Domain", "Public", "Private"
5. I tried to uninstall the "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" for the "vEthernet (DockerNAT)" (to re-install as someone had suggested) but got the error: 0x80071779
   • This appears to be an issue in the windows version 1803
6. I then unchecked the "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" for the "vEthernet (DockerNAT)" clicked "Ok" and then checked it back on.
7. I have reinstalled Docker for Windows a couple of times as well

I am using the following:

• Windows10 Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.285)
• Docker CE Version 18.06.1-ce-win73 (19507), Channel: Stable

I was trying to connect to the VM and poke around but it couldn't - it keeps saying "Video remoting was disconnected". But following this https://docker-saigon.github.io/post/Docker-Beta/#private-registries:ebf9573d6838c40027746e9d7482622a I ran a container on the VM and accessed the VM through it. I am running the container using the following so I have full access to the guest network (--net=host)

docker run --net=host --ipc=host --uts=host --pid=host -it --security-opt=seccomp=unconfined --privileged --rm -v /:/host alpine /bin/sh

I have the following adapters on the host:

I am hoping that this might be a better defined problem to solve. Again, any help would be appreciated.

TL;DR

I believe that there was another anti-virus that was running that was causing the blocked firewall issue

I decided to switch from using Windows Defender to Norton Antivirus to see if that would resolve the issue. When I tried to install Norton it complained that it could not remove a previously installed version of the AV and the installation aborted. As far as I knew the only AV I had on my system was Windows Defender. There was no evidence of any other AV running in the system tray. I checked the services list - I found an entry for Norton but it was not running. I am not sure if that entry existed before or it was created as part of the unsuccessful installation. Either way, I rebooted by computer and decided to try sharing the drive again and it worked. I was able to ping 10.0.75.1 and share the c drive without issue. My best guess is that there might have been a version of Norton running in the background which got cleaned-up when I tried to do a fresh install and allowed the files to be shared.

I wish I had better insight into the exact cause and the fix but it is working now. Thanks.
