Docker for Windows error i o timeout

Question

I’m running on Windows 10 Pro-64 bit where I have installed the latest version of Docker for Windows. I was able to perform basic commands like docker run hello-world. But, when I do docker run busybox, I get the following error:

C:\Users\testuser>docker run -it busybox
Unable to find image 'busybox:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/busybox
8ddc19f16526: Pulling fs layer
docker: error pulling image configuration: Get https://dseasb33srnrn.cloudfront.net/registry-v2/docker/registry/v2/blobs/sha256/2b/2b8fd9751c4c0f5dd266fcae00707e67a2545ef34f9a29354585f93dac906749/data?Expires=1474617209&Signature=HRDYuDqnI3ERPonW9vj0HtP3hzIQoB1j7d-kWzR0iDXozoDknq0n4wIfkw2H73K5xaBBmVNy2ZoOqOQTm9LFP44MGfgS1pNthOLuEMSKrVUJmuaQNvckxuznuqffhkMCmTmQ7-~WMBjyLh7Si9sLdYR8oLVwN6sDRn5wKRa7f4I_&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJECH5M7VWIS5YZ6Q: dial tcp: i/o timeout.
See 'docker run --help'.

Am I missing something?

You’re facing a very common error. Just open the Network settings in Docker for Windows,  select the Fixed DNS setting, using Google's DNS server 8.8.8.8.
