When I try to create a local project I get disconnected after I name it and before I can select pytorch.

"Trouble Connecting to Your Current Location

I have now tried with a fresh installation of Windows without success…  
the container AI Workbench creates in docker is not in port 10001 but in 10000

```auto
		"NetworkMode": "workbench",
		"PortBindings": {
			"10000/tcp": [
				{
					"HostIp": "127.0.0.1",
					"HostPort": "10000"
				}
			]

```

I don’t see any options to change it in docker or in Ai workbench.

HELP!!!

Hi, thanks for reaching out.
