Is iterating over network interfaces possible? IIRC that was causing a lot of issues with local nodejs dev servers

On their blog they state that raw sockets (ping), ip address / ip route will work.

  Still some work there though. Traceroute errors with: setsockopt IP_MTU_DISCOVER: Protocol not available

    Yeah, to be clear here: We worked with the networking team to enable Linux Ping to open a raw socket, but we've not enabled carte blanche raw-socket support for all Linux processes. We are, however, continuing to work on solving these and several other networking issues to close the gap in our networking support. As a work-around, you could always call Windows' tracert.exe via the interop feature ;) An if you're just using standard sockets technologies (e.g. HTTP, TLS, FTP, SSH, etc.) all should be good.

      Any chance we'll see a first-party X11 server at some point? XMing, VCXsrv, and Cygwin/X all have some warts when it comes to stuff like windows previewing, copy/paste, acceleration, and fonts. OS X has shipped with an optional X11 server forever, and it would be great to see that feature parity in Windows.

        No plans at this time; we're focusing entirely on command-line tools & scenarios right now. Besides, there are plenty of X Servers out there, no?

Yeah it works. I can finally ping, do ifconfig etc. Even htop runs. I am amazed! http://imgur.com/7P2J64h http://imgur.com/7P2J64h

  This alone made WSL way more useful for me. Only thing that's missing now is traceroute.

    We're working on traceroute for a future release. In the meantime, you can run `tracert.exe <ip>` from within Bash which will invoke the Windows trace-route command-line tool to do the same thing ;)

This was added to the fast ring builds in December. Not sure of the timeline to get it out into stable, but it definitely was a big deal to get.
