### Repro Steps

For me this started today, maybe after installing the Intel driver update (but not completely sure of the reason):
```
$ nslookup
> google.com
;; communications error to 1.1.1.1#53: timed out

$ ping 1.1.1.1
PING 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=59 time=3.15 ms
64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=59 time=3.57 ms
```

### Expected Behavior

DNS works

### Actual Behavior

nslookup in WSLv1 cannot reach 1.1.1.1 (despite ping works), and ping google.com does not work

ping works from cmd.exe

### Diagnostic Logs
