I'm trying to get a windows (server 2019) based docker container running inside a kubernetes cluster, using the mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:1809 image from here

The node is recognised by the cluster and shown as ready.

When I try to deploy any pod to the cluster it runs without problems, but it's not possible to access the exposed ports associated with the service.

It appears that there's an issue with running kube-proxy on the windows worker node. The log for that node show:

Failed create pod sandbox: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to start sandbox container for pod "kube-proxy-nwclf": Error response from daemon: network host not found

Any ideas on where I'm going wrong here?

UPDATE: Just noticed that the kube-proxy pod on the windows machine has a cluster based ip address (10.244.5.2) rather than one from my local network (192.168.1.X). Is this relevant in terms of working out what the problem is?
