I noted that in my Device Manager I had a warning against Network adapters / "Hyper-V Virtual Switch Extension Adapter".
My resolution was to use Hyper V manager to remove the "Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch":
1...Launch Hyper V Manager 2...Virtual Switch Manager 3...Under Virtual Switches list, select "Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch" and click Remove 4...Refer back to Device Manager - the "Hyper-V Virtual Switch Extension Adapter" warning will have been removed 5...Create a new Virtual network switch (Internal), using the same name 6...You then need to open the Settings for each emulator and reconnect it's Network Adapter to the newly created internal switch 7...I also ran the Emulator repair (Control Panel / Program Features / right click Windows Phone 8.1 Emulators - ENU / Change / Repair) - not sure if this had any bearing on the fix 9...I then launched VS2013 and emulator now worked
I had the same problem with my AVG Antivirus firewall. The only thing needed was to disable AVG network filter driver in vEthernet (Internal Ethernet Port Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch) network.
You can find it in Control panel -> network and internet -> network sharing center -> change adapter settings. Right click vEthernet (Internal Ethernet Port Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch), select Properties, uncheck AVG network filter driver.
After that Visual Studio is able to connect Windows Phone Emulator.
I have tried all guides above, nothing help. Finally, I uninstall vmware player 12 and then it's work. Hope this tip could help you.
I had this happen and none of the solutions above helped unfortunately. However, I noticed that in my actual network settings there were duplicate phone emulators. After disabling the duplicates that were unplugged my issue was solved.
control panel -> network and internet -> network sharing center -> change adapter settings: here is where you disable any duplicates you may have running for whatever reason.
