Repro Steps

Just start windows an wait to be surprised.

Expected Behavior

Static IP or selection of random IP that hat has network connection.

Actual Behavior

IP address of WSL2 (Hyper-V?) is changed from day to day. Most of the time there are IP addresses starting with 172 but sometimes also 192.

With 192.168.xxx I always have network connectivity. With 172.xxx it is difficult. 172.18, 21 and 31 always have network connectivity. 172.17, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 never have network connectivity. I checked this over months.

It seems not to be possible to have a static IP and not to fix the range of the IP. So I have to wait to get a day where the right IP is assigned.
