I did have the same error. It turned out to be because of the proxy blocking the communication to the geocoding service. Before I had system admin guys to poke a whole in the firewall for Android because I could not configure the proxy for maps. The problem was that the geocoding service probably moved IP address and therefore, ended up onto a IP address my computer had no access to (although I have not been able to find out for sure, the IP address for geocoding as of today is probably available on one of these: 64.233.187.147 or 17 or 83).
The good news of course is that now Android can be configured with a proxy: http://code.google.com/android/reference/emulator.html#proxy which solved my problem.
