Docker TCP lookup fails

Question

I'm very new to Docker and currently following the Docker getting started guide, I was able to install Docker Toolbox and created by first Docker image, but now I see the following message when I try to pull a Docker image

I do pull hello-world from my Docker command line and I get the error

Pulling repository docker.io/library/hello-world
Error while pulling image: Get https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/library/hello-world/images: dial tcp: lookup index.docker.io on 192.231.203.3:53: server misbehaving

I'm on OSX (10.10.3) and Docker version 1.8.1, build d12ea79, and not behind a firewall/proxy.

did you try adding google dns to your resolv.conf? `sudo echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf`. This is a potential duplicate of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28301151/docker-pull-error — Henrik Pingel, Aug 23 '15 at 16:25
@knowhy, thanks for the answer, I added the entry to my `resolv.conf` file but still Im having the same error — sameera207, Aug 24 '15 at 12:56

I was having this same issue. The resolution that worked for me was to

shutdown and remove/delete the "default" vm in Virtual Box
restart Docker Quickstart Terminal
be sure to use docker-machine instead of the deprecated boot2docker

It doesn't seem docker has updated some of their docs to reflect NOT to use boot2docker...

side note: if you want to list your docker vms and their ip addresses run docker-machine ls

Just answered a simliar question here: Why doesn't Docker Toolbox work on Mac 10.10.5

Try restarting your docker vm either through boot2docker or docker-machine.
