How to connect android emulator to the internet

Question

How can I connect my Android emulator to the internet, e.g. to use the browser? I\'ve found lots of advice on what do to when your connected through a proxy, but that\'s not

Answer 1

Thanks for the pointers. They really helped. The "Firewall" word clicked an idea in my mind.

I have a Windows XP machine with WIFI connection and no proxy. I have Norton Internet Security running on my machine which has a Smart Firewall. This Smart Firewall manages programs' access to network, including emulator.exe. I went into Settings -> Program Control and then granted full access to emulator.exe. After this I started Android Emulator and bang... I could connect to internet.

Hope this helps new folks.
