alexa device not registered via wsl nmap

here’s my current setup:

First, the host machine Windows specs (let’s call this section HM):

  1. Edition Windows 11 Home
  2. Version 21H2
  3. Installed on ‎12/‎5/‎2021
  4. OS build 22000.434
  5. Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.434.0

Second, the corresponding host machine device (D) specs (let’s call this section HMD):

  1. Device name —
  2. Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1115G4 @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz
  3. Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.73 GB usable)
  4. Device ID —
  5. Product ID —
  6. System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

For the wsl version and other info, I ran the following with the output included:
wsl --list --verbose

  NAME                   STATE           VERSION
* Ubuntu                 Running         2
  docker-desktop         Running         2
  docker-desktop-data    Running         2

Here’s the version of the Ubuntu container I’m running (via running lsb_release -a):

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release:        20.04
Codename:       focal

Lastly, in terms of setup, here’s my host machine’s docker version (via docker --version):

Docker version 20.10.11, build dea9396

With all that disclosed, here’s some final context of what’s going on and (finally) my question(s). On my local machine (and LAN), I run this: sudo nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24. The output of that command is this:

Starting Nmap 7.92 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2022-01-17 09:44 Central Standard Time
Nmap scan report for raspberryshake.attlocal.net (192.168.1.74)

Now, after entering the Ubuntu container (as an aside, I might be incorrect in using the container term, but that’s aside from the topic here – glad to receive feedback on that as well, though) and running the same command, I get the following:

[sudo] password for nbenton:
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2022-01-17 09:42 CST

Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (3 hosts up) scanned in 12.26 seconds

Do you see the difference? In the container, the amazon device is missing, and I don’t know why.

This post is starting the balloon, so I’ll conclude here with the following question:

  • Why does the alexa (or amazon) device not register from the wsl side?

PS: yes, I’ve looked here, but that question+answer does not resolve my confusion.
