Android Emulator Sometimes Does Not Connect To The Internet

I have ubuntu Linux 10.04, my collegue uses suse. We have Wi-Fi connection to the Internet. We use Android emulator with several virtual devices. We have problem with the Internet

Solution 1:

I suggest using the new snapshot feature to save a good snapshot to restore from with the network up. I've done this with my CI build and it appears to have solved the problem.

Solution 2:

I have the same error on Windows. What seems to work for me is is treating the VD like a real phone and turning it off before shutting the window - so press and hold the power button, then selecting power off from the popup dialog then give it a short while to shutdown (if you watch from the DDMS logcat view in Eclipse you can see it running through the shutdown processes). It won't actually close the window, but you will see the logcat activity basically stop. Then close the window.

I find if I close the VD like this, I don't get any problems when I next come to start the VD, but if I don't maybe even 1 in 3 times it won't start properly the next time.
