@zaa would you consider adding an entry to our faq that describes the error you received and how you resolved? I think we need to start putting together a knowledge base of problems and solutions.

If you are open to send a PR and adding an entry here:

- [https://github.com/drone/docs/tree/master/content/faq](https://github.com/drone/docs/tree/master/content/faq)

or if it is easier, if you document the problem and solution in our docs issue tracker, I can take that information and create the faq entry

- [https://github.com/drone/docs/issues](https://github.com/drone/docs/issues)

The same for anyone else that has spent time debugging and then solving Kubernetes-related networking issues. Please take the time to share your solutions. Thanks!

**If you are new to this thread …**

I would recommend that everyone start by testing user-defined networks on their host machine. You can do so with the following command:

```nohighlight
docker network create foo
docker run --network=foo -t -i alpine ping -c 1 github.com

```

If the above command fails, it should help you narrow down the problem because we can rule out any issues with drone. You can then focus your time debugging host machine network configuration (iptables, etc) and your docker daemon configuration (–dns flag, etc).
