I m not sure if this is your issue  but here s how I fixed mine   I always had this  No DNS servers found  error when starting the emulator and did a lot of research on google to no avail  Anyway  I found a post somewhere  can t find it anymore  that was saying that the number of NICs  number of DNS entries could affect the emulator  Also  knowing that the emulator uses a Windows API function  GetNetworkParams    to resolve DNS entries  I couldn t rely on the  WINDOWS  System32 Hosts file   However  I did went in the NICs properties  on Windows 7  to find that I was specifying a static IP  but no DNS entries  So  I got the DNS entries from my router and plugged them in the NICs property  I restarted the emulator and it is now using the correct DNS entries   I can use my internet connection with the emulator now  and it works wonders   Hope it helps

it appears there might be a few reasons why there might be no internet connection for an emulator  in my case i was working from home where i have a wireless connection then came into the office and plugged in direct  however although my wireless connection was disconnected it was not disabled resulting in no emulator connection  my understanding is that when it starts up it looks for a network adapter and if there is any conflict here it might result in no internet connection  to resolve go to  Start   Settings   Network Connections right click on Wireless Network Connection  if you are not using wireless  and select disable

I have Mac OS X 10 7 2  Eclipse Helios Service Release 2  I also work via Proxy and my IP settings are via DHCP  I solved this issue firstly using this article http   www gitshah com 2011 02 android-fixing-no-internet-connection html  then I removed Emulator settings and just go to Run- Run Configurations- Target- Additional Emulator Command Line Options and type there -http-proxy xxx xx 111 1 3128   Also I would like to say that when I typed also a DNS like this  -dns-server xxx xx 111 1 -http-proxy xxx xx 111 1 3128 it did not work  but when I removed DNS it worked  Also I would like to note  that Additional Emulator Command Line Options are not visible without scrolling to the bottom of that window  I also want to note  that when you change emulator options  all apps will work  But If you write Additional Emulator Command Line Options  you need to write them every time for every app target in Run Configurations

I think some of the answers may have addressed this  however obliquely  but here s what worked for me   Assuming your problem is occurring when you re on a wireless network and you have a LAN card installed  the issue is that the emulator tries to obtain its DNS settings from that LAN card  Not a problem when you re connected via that LAN  but utterly useless if you re on a wireless connection  I noticed this when I was on my laptop   So  how to fix  Simple  Disable your LAN card  Really  Just go to your Network connections  find your LAN card  right click it and choose disable  Now try your emulator  If you re like me  it suddenly     works

EDIT  For more recent version of Android Studio  the emulator you need to use is no longer in the   Library Android sdk tools folder but in   LibraryAndroid sdk emulator  If while trying the below solution you get the following message  quot PANIC  Missing emulator engine program for  x86  CPU      then please refer to https   stackoverflow com a 49511666 to update your bash environment  Operating System   Mac OS X El Capitan IDE   Android Studio 2 2 For some reasons  I wasn t able to access internet through my AVD at work  probably proxy or network configuration issues   What did the trick for me was to launch in command line my AVD and giving manually the Google public DNS 8 8 8 8  In your Terminal go to the folder tools of your Android sdk to find the  emulator  program  cd   Library Android sdk tools  Then retrieve the name of your AVDs   emulator -list-avds  It will return you something like this  Android Wear Round API 23 Nexus 10 API 22 Nexus 5X API 22 Nexus 5X API 24 Nexus 9 API 24  Then launch the AVD you would like with the following instructions  emulator -avd NameOfYourDevice -dns-server 8 8 8 8  Your AVD is launched and you should be able to use internet
