Support Request for WSL2 Networking (Bridge or Mirror Mode)

[salman-ghannam1]

Dear Support Team,

I am reaching out to request assistance with configuring the networking settings in WSL2. I am experiencing an issue where the current network mode does not allow me to discover devices on my local network.

Environment Details: • Windows Version: Windows 11 Home
• WSL Version: 2.3.26.0
• Kernel Version: 5.15.167.4-1
• I am using the netdiscover tool to scan for devices on my local network, but unfortunately, no IP addresses are being detected. Additional Notes: • While inspecting the /etc directory, I found that the wslconfig.save file is empty.
• Since I am using Windows 11 Home, I suspect that some network-related features might be limited or configured differently compared to other editions.
• I require the Bridge or Mirror network mode to ensure the proper functionality of netdiscover and to allow it to detect devices on my local network.
• I could not find a clear method to adjust WSL2’s network settings to enable the desired network mode.

I would appreciate your guidance on resolving this issue and any instructions or configuration files required to enable the appropriate network mode.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,
Salman almutairi
