It seems to be ok. Did you expose your 9200 port so you can access elasticsearch from outside docker ?

I ran `docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.5.4`
It's exposing host port with container port(p flag) I guess 😅

I suspect a problem with the (pretty complex) forwarding that has to happen on Windows. There's a whole extra layer of packet handling to get the packets inside the Linux virtual machine before they even think about getting to the container.
Are you able to run another service on that port? Like:
```auto
docker run --rm -it -p 9200:80 nginx
```
If that doesn't work, try temporarily disabling Windows Firewall.

`docker run --rm -it -p 9200:80 nginx`
nginx is also not working. I also tried by turning off firewall, changing nginx port still it's not working.

It's working now. I am on docker toolbox.
So instead of `localhost:9200` It runs at `http://192.168.99.100:9200/`

Great! (Sorry you are stuck on Docker Toolbox, I get it). 🙂
