Answer 1

There is No Way you can connect your android emulator to any thing physical on your network directly.

Android Emulator creates its own LAN and each emulator instance a new LAN instance with the same IPs (This is OK because they can't access each other)

If you insist on using the Emulator to communicate with the Box , you should create a UDP proxy socket on your PC (Using JAVA , C# , C++ , VB ... or any desktop programming language you want)

They way your Desktop App Will Work

• get your LAN subnet to determain the packet source later.
• Start a UDP Listener for the ports your server use.
• Find the IP address of the sender (there are APIs for that) if the sender is the emulator, resend that packet to the box using the box IP

There is a good demonistration on the subject on Android's developers website.
