Answer 1

I tried following steps , Not sure if it will work for you

1> Delete All emulators in Hyper-v
2> Remove all virtual switches from virtual switch manager
3> Go to Network connections in control panel and manually disable (right click and click disable) all the connection except the one which provides internet.
4> Start the emulator from Visual studio

Answer 2

I had the same issue as well. However as someone else pointed out on the official forums it didn't work if you had a static IP for your PC set up in your router. Removing it and let the DHCP assign my PC an IP solved the issue for me.

Answer 3

Try this solution, it works for me (no need of DHCP)

Step 1 - using Hyper-V start the server, once started u can see the two new network adapters added in the (network sharing) page.

Step 2 - go to your visual studio IDE where your application runs, using Emulator run your application, once started try to open IE, it will not connect to internet.

Step 3 - now again come back to network sharing page right click on external adapter which was created newly select properties, hit on sharing tab, now check the two options to have tick mark if not tick that two options and click on OK.

Step 4 - internal adapter which was created newly will be changing the domain name from Unidentified network to your shared Domain name, once changed try to access the IE again in emulator which runs already. now i hope the internet connection works.

Good article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/wsdevsol/archive/2013/10/01/why-can-t-the-windows-phone-emulator-go-online.aspx

I had DHCP reservation on my router, like @robertftw said. I configured a static IP for vEthernet (Internal Ethernet Port Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch) adapter and everything works.

Answer 5

My Windows Phone emulator had been assigned an IP address by DHCP on a different Subnet to the one I am using.

Manually assigning an IP address on the same subnet as my PC to the vEthernet port created by Hyper-V resolved this issue.

Answer 6

1. Start Hyper-V Manager
2. Open Virtual Switch Manager
3. Remove the Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch from the list and apply changes
