Android emulator loses internet connection after a period of time

Question

I'm having trouble with the android emulator, this one is Android 2.3.3 but i've had trouble with other versions as well.

When i start the emulator everything works great, for a while. But at some point (I don't know how long) it just stops working and i have to restart it.

It happens every time, and restarting it always fixes it. I've tried toggling the network on and off but that doesn't help.

The exception I get in logcat is "java.net.UnknownHostException: foo.com"

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Same here. The network connection lasts no more than an hour usually. — Hong, Apr 30 '13 at 14:45
I found a solution (ie disable lan card) in [another so thread](http://stackoverflow.com/a/2702663/874502). — denispyr, May 24 '13 at 14:56
[This user](https://stackoverflow.com/a/22077852/4515489) seems to have found a possible cause of the issue, though not a solution for it. — jk7, Jan 24 '18 at 17:36

I came across this link while researching the same issue. The DNS server fix worked for me. http://www.gitshah.com/2011/02/android-fixing-no-internet-connection.html
