Thanks for the tip, but I had some trouble with it. When I ran the first command, I got: RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted So I modified it to run wsl sudo ip addr… and it did indeed add a 192.168.250.1 IP address to my WSL adapter in addition to the original IP address). The second command ran without issue. After doing this, I’ve had to check ‘Disable access control’ in the XLaunch, but otherwise, it runs fine. I did not have to check it before. Not a big deal. After re-starting though,...

Well, this is embarrassing... The very next discussion I looked at had a link that solved the problem for me. It said, if you use powershell, type systeminfo and use the IP address found at the bottom. It worked! So I did an IP Config and that IP addresses is listed under "Ethernet adapter vEthernet (WSL):". It's not the IP address of my computer and it's not the IP address I get in WSL when I run ifconfig and it's not the IP address I get when I copy and paste the suggested export DISPLAY commands...
