wrong ip result

[derik007]

I'm pretty sure that I have done everything right to install the tool. However, the result of this tool seems to be incorrect.

In my wsl2, I run

cat /etc/resolv.conf

then I got message below:

# This file was automatically generated by WSL. To stop automatic generation of this file, add the following entry to /etc/wsl.conf:
# [network]
# generateResolvConf = false
nameserver 172.17.60.225

However, when I check hosts file, the result is

172.17.60.228 ubuntu1604.wsl    # managed by wsl2-host

So obviously, 172.17.60.228 is not 172.17.60.225. I think this tool just gives a wrong answer.

my version of go-wsl2-host is v0.3.5.

The tool is all right. I provide with another simple solution below.

#!/bin/sh
export WINIP=$(cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep 'nameserver' | cut -f 2 -d ' ') 
export WSLIP=$(ip addr show eth0 | grep 'inet ' | cut -f 6 -d ' ' | cut -f 1 -d '/')
echo WINIP $WINIP
echo WSLIP $WSLIP

echo <Your Password> | sudo -S sed -i "/winip/c $WINIP\twinip" /etc/hosts
echo <Your Password> | sudo -S sed -i "/wslip/c $WSLIP\twslip" /etc/hosts

vim "+:%s/^.*winip/$WINIP\t\twinip/g" "+:%s/^.*wslip/$WSLIP\t\twslip/g" '+:wq' -E /mnt/c/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts 

Run this script in ~/.bashrc can set hosts both in win and wsl.

This line give me an error, about not being writeable.

vim "+:%s/^.*winip/$WINIP\t\twinip/g" "+:%s/^.*wslip/$WSLIP\t\twslip/g" '+:wq' -E /mnt/c/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts

@rnwolf right click to hosts file and reset your logging user to full authority in property-security-advanced.

@derik007 Thanks that worked great. I use zsh, which automatically runs, ~/.zlogin script on login. Rather than Users as picture below, I ended up adding modify & write permissions to just my logging in user.
