docker pull proxyconnect tcp: dial tcp: lookup http.docker.internal on 192.168.65… timeout

After upgrading to macOS 14.1 my docker installation stopped woring and when I tried to pull an image it answered with the following error message:

➜  ~ docker pull ubuntu

192.168.65.0/24 is the configured docker internal network of Docker Desktop. It was running on defaults and I wasn’t aware of any manual changes. DNS of my host system worked properly:

What exactly caused the issue didn’t reveal but resetting Docker Desktop to factory defaults fixed the problem. You can find this on the top right corner of the window behind the small bug icon -> “Reset to factory defaults” button.
