This problem keeps cropping up intermittently on my computer and usually  it happens when my computer is running low on system resources  mostly available RAM  and a sure-fire way to fix this  this at least has always worked for me  is to disable the VirtualBox Host-Only Network adapter and re-enable it   If you have multiple virtual adapters  you ll have to find out which of those is used by Genymotion s virtual device and disable and re-enable it  You can find that out by starting VirtualBox and looking here    You can read about enabling disabling virtual adapters here

I had to change Adapter s address to  192 168 56 100   Then it worked

For me it was related to the lack of virtual resources  Ram and CPU   Go to the virtual box  right click on device -  Setting and increase the value of each resource

Try downgrading to Virtual Box 4 2 18  if you are using 4 3 X   I had a similar situation to yours   I was using Genymotion 1 3 0 on Win7  with latest Virtual Box 4 3 2  Genymotion broke down after a computer shutdown  and never worked again   I kinda stumbled onto this solution  After downgrading  Genymotion survived one shutdown now   P S  Changing network resources settings in Virtual Box didn t help me  so I m putting this up and hope it helps

VMs used to work for me under Genymotion 2 0 0  with default RAM and CPU settings and VirtualBox 4 3 2  on ubuntu 13 10   Upgrading to 2 0 1 made them stop working and give the error you mentioned    I tried various fixes as I described here  https   stackoverflow com a 20018833 2527118  but in summary what fixed my problem was to delete VM and recreate it  same source and settings  in GenyMotion  You might want to try the other fixes  less destructive  before doing that   Andrei

Mine was working fine on Windows 10  Creator update edition  but then suddenly stopped working after I had been messing with Homegroups and trying to share a file between our office network  Not really sure what caused it  Has taken me over a week of doing all of the various suggestions above with no luck  Finally  ran a few things that fixed it at last   IMPORTANT  To be honest  of all the things I ran below  I don t really know which one fixed it  I have a feeling that the IPv6 disabling tool would probably solve this straight away without the additional stuff  Maybe worth running that first to see what happens   Here s what fixed mine -   Removed virtual devices from Genymotion Went into VirtualBox  Files -  Virtual Host Manager  and removed the host only adapters  Opened command prompt as administrator  Type  cmd  into your search windows search bar  right-click on it and select  Run as Administrator    Ran the following commands in order to put everything back to defaults and reset it all  netsh winsock reset catalog reference netsh int ipv4 reset reset logsame as above ipconfig  release ipconfig  renew Disable IPV6 using Microsoft s tool found here Disable IPv6 or its components  I downloaded and ran the one called Disabled IPv6 on all nontunnel interfaces  Restarted computer I was using Avast anti-virus  Uninstalled that too to completely remove that from the equation temporarily  I had already been disabling it temporarily whilst trying all the other solutions with no luck  Figured I d uninstall it for certainty  Installed Genymotion 2 12 0-vbox  with VirtualBox which should be 5 2 6  After it installs  open up Oracle VM VirtualBox and go to File- Check for updates and you should be told there s an update to 5 2 8 at the time of this post  Install that  Now go to GenyMotion and add a new device  Should work   I didn t tweak anything in VirtualBox  didn t change anything to anything else - it just worked as is for me     Good luck

I ve had this issue and none of the suggestions I found anywhere helped  unfortunately   The good news  however  is that the latest versions work without any hacks  I m referring to Windows 7 host here   genymotion-2 5 4 exe  VirtualBox-5 0 5-102814-Win exe  download from test builds   Edit  This stopped working again after updates so I gave up on Genymotion  The new Android emulator in SDK performs just as well  has great functionaly  and works without hiccups

I struggled quite a long time fixing this issue  In my case it was a combination of 2 answers that got it to work  Visual studio enabled my Hyper-V  I had to turn it off as suggested by LanderV  After this  I had to delete the Host-only network adapter in Virtualbox like Sammys said

User · Answer

In virtualbox  go to the settings   network  and remove all host only networks  Make sure to go to the global settings of virtualbox  not the settings of your specific VM   The settings screen should look like this     Then restart your emulator in Genymotion

After trying all of these answers  to no avail  I managed to get it up by first running the device from Vbox  leaving it open  and then running the device from Genymotion    In my case this was the ONLY way after trying several different devices  Samsung S4 S6 etc   network DHCP settings and modes and so on

I think you should configure your VirtualBox network adapter      The adapter s IP address has to be in the same network    192 168 56 0 24 by default  as DHCP server s IP address and DHCP s IP   address bounds  If all those addresses are not in the same network    then your Genymotion virtual device might not be able to start    https   cloud genymotion com page faq  collapse-blank  Or check log files to get a clue      For each platform  the log files are stored here      Windows Vista 7 8  C  Users USER AppData Local Genymobile     Windows XP  C  Documents and Settings USER Local settings Application Data Genymobile     Linux   home USER  Genymobile     Mac   Users USER  Genymobile   https   cloud genymotion com page faq  collapse-logs

If you are using a Windows PC  check this first  this list looks quite long  but the first three bullets will let you know if Hyper-V could be your problem  and the next five bullets will tell you if this answer will solve your problem - just a few moments      Open a good old-fashioned command prompt  not a PowerShell  with admin privileges and type   bcdedit  Enter Take a look for an item in the list called  hypervisorlaunchtype  If hypervisorlaunchtype isn t in the list  or is Off  exit this answer and take a look at one of the other answers on this page  If hypervisorlaunchtype is in the list and is set to Auto  Hyper-V is installed and is enabled  Disable hypervisorlaunchtype by typing   bcdedit  set hypervisorlaunchtype off  Enter Reboot Try to start your Genymotion device again  If it still fails enable hypervisorlaunchtype by typing into an admin command prompt   bcdedit  set hypervisorlaunchtype Auto  Enter   Reboot Exit this answer and take a look at one of the other answers on this page   Otherwise  if your Genymotion device now starts  you have a choice    If you don t need Hyper-V remove it by un-checking it in Turn Windows Features On or Off and exit this question  If you do need Hyper-V  allow easy enabling and disabling as per Scott Hanselman s blog post  which I will outline in the following bullets   You can leave the default as Off and then add an item to the boot menu that allows you to switch it on  or vice versa  If you are leaving the default as Off type the following into the admin command prompt   bcdedit  copy  current   d  Hyper-V    Enter  and you will get a response like this   The entry was successfully copied to  ff-23-113-824e-5c5144ea      then type   bcdedit  set  ff-23-113-824e-5c5144ea  hypervisorlaunchtype auto  Enter    ensuring you swap the GUID for the one your call to copy above gave you    That s it  your done   In order to switch between the two hold down the Shift key when you go for a Restart and then select Other Operating Systems on the blue screen and then Hyper-V on the subsequent screen and your OS will restart with Hyper-V enabled    If you want Hyper-V to be enabled by default type into your admin command prompt   bcdedit  set hypervisorlaunchtype Auto   Enter   which will revert the default boot to enabling Hyper-V  Then type the following in the admin command prompt   bcdedit  copy  current   d  No Hyper-V    Enter  and you will get a response like this   The entry was successfully copied to  ff-23-113-824e-5c5144ea      then type   bcdedit  set  ff-23-113-824e-5c5144ea  hypervisorlaunchtype off  Enter    ensuring you swap the GUID for the one your call to copy above gave you    That s it  you re done   As with off by default above  in order to switch between the two hold down the Shift key when you go for a Restart and then select Other Operating Systems on the blue screen and Hyper-V on the subsequent screen and your OS will restart with Hyper-V enabled        This comment and this answer to the question you are currently reading lead me to the resolution in my case and I am adding this answer to outline simple steps to take before you spend a lot of time on any solution - that comment and answer do get you where this answer will take you  but I have laid it out step-by-step in the hope that you can save time   Background   This article by Scott Hanselman gave me the meat of what I have outlined  with this comment on that blog post by Jonathan Dickinson helping with my background understanding and preventing me disappearing down a rabbit hole  but this article by Derek Gusoff fine tuned the steps above

I had this same issue and here are the specific configuration that I needed to get this to work   First  go to the VirtualBox preferences -  Network         For the  Host-only Networks  tab  focus on the vboxnet0     Click the icon on the left that looks like a screwdriver  For the Adapter tab  fill in the IPv4 Network Address as 192 168 56 1 Fill in the IPv4 Network Mask as 255 255 255 0    For the DHCP Server tab  select the check box for Enable Server to enable the server Fill in the Server Address as 192 168 56 100 Fill in the Server Mask as 255 255 255 0 Fill in the Lower Address Bound as 192 168 56 101 Fill in the Upper Address Bound as 192 168 56 254    The DHCP server part is what was not correct for me and it fixed my problem
