Greetings, I cannot get the android emulator v1.7 on Windows XP to resolve DNS hostnames I know this is an oft-visited topic on these forums, but after reading the threads I have not found "resolution".
I am running the emulator on Windows XP, on a notebook with a disconnected ethernet interface and a connected WiFi interface. My network is behind a router at 192.168.1.1, which provides DNS to machines on my network, according to the settings given to it by my ISP. I am not overriding anything in my hosts file. I have tried specifying "-dns-server 192.168.1.1" to the emulator, but it complains that it cannot resolve that hostname and will use the default. I have tried specifying a DNS server on the Internet via "-dns-server tasty.cornbread.com". The emulator again complained that it could not resolve the DNS server. I have tried disabling my unconnected NICs. This did not help. I have tried specifying -verbose to the emulator to see what it is using for DNS, but I didn't see anything in its output regarding DNS (except the suspicious ndns=1). No other application that I use on this machine has any problems with DNS. I have run out of ideas. Thanks for any help you may have. -brian Here is the output of my configurations: C:\export\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\tools>ipconfig /all Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : ODIN Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Networ k Connection Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-13-02-47-A8-74 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.3 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Thursday, February 12, 2009 4:15:38 PM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Friday, February 13, 2009 4:15:38 PM Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Cont roller Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-15-60-C2-D5-16 C:\export\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\tools>emulator -verbose emulator: autoconfig: -system C:\export\android-sdk- windows-1.0_r2\tools/lib/ima ges/ emulator: autoconfig: -datadir C:\Documents and Settings\brian\Local Settings\Ap plication Data\Android\SDK-1.0 emulator: autoconfig: -kernel C:\export\android-sdk- windows-1.0_r2\tools/lib/ima ges/\kernel-qemu emulator: autoconfig: -ramdisk C:\export\android-sdk- windows-1.0_r2\tools/lib/im ages/\ramdisk.img emulator: autoconfig: -image C:\export\android-sdk- windows-1.0_r2\tools/lib/imag es/\system.img emulator: autoconfig: -initdata C:\export\android-sdk- windows-1.0_r2\tools/lib/i mages/\userdata.img emulator: autoconfig: -skindir C:\export\android-sdk- windows-1.0_r2\tools/lib/im ages/\skins emulator: autoconfig: -sdcard C:\Documents and Settings\brian\Local Settings\App lication Data\Android\SDK-1.0\sdcard.img emulator: autoconfig: -data C:\Documents and Settings\brian\Local Settings\Appli cation Data\Android\SDK-1.0\userdata.img emulator: autoconfig: -data C:\Documents and Settings\brian\Local Settings\Appli cation Data\Android\SDK-1.0\userdata-qemu.img emulator: parsing built-in skin layout file (size=7714) emulator: skin network speed: 'full' emulator: skin network delay: 'none' emulator: argv[00] = "emulator" emulator: argv[01] = "-kernel" emulator: argv[02] = "C:\export\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\tools/lib/ images/\ker nel-qemu" emulator: argv[03] = "-initrd" emulator: argv[04] = "C:\export\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\tools/lib/ images/\ram disk.img" emulator: argv[05] = "-nand" emulator: argv[06] = "system,size=0x4200000,initfile=C:\export\android- sdk-windo ws-1.0_r2\tools/lib/images/\system.img" emulator: argv[07] = "-nand" emulator: argv[08] = "userdata,size=0x4200000,file=C:\Documents and Settings\bri an\Local Settings\Application Data\Android\SDK-1.0\userdata-qemu.img" emulator: argv[09] = "-nand" emulator: argv[10] = "cache,size=0x4200000" emulator: argv[11] = "-serial" emulator: argv[12] = "android-kmsg" emulator: argv[13] = "-serial" emulator: argv[14] = "android-qemud" emulator: argv[15] = "-append" emulator: argv[16] = "qemu=1 console=ttyS0 android.checkjni=1 android.qemud=ttyS 1 android.ndns=1" emulator: mapping 'system' NAND image to C:\DOCUME~1\brian \LOCALS~1\Temp\\Androi dEmulator\TMP3B.tmp emulator: mapping 'cache' NAND image to C:\DOCUME~1\brian\LOCALS~1\Temp \\Android Emulator\TMP3C.tmp emulator: using 'dynticks' alarm timer emulator: using 'winaudio' audio input backend emulator: using 'winaudio' audio output backend emulator: control console listening on port 5554, ADB on port 5555 emulator: sent '0012host:emulator:5555' to ADB server emulator: ping program: C:\export\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\tools \ddms.bat emulator: ping command: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /C "C:\export \android-sdk-wi ndows-1.0_r2\tools\ddms.bat" ping emulator 1.7 emulator: emulator window was out of view and was recentred emulator: not saving new emulator window position since it is not fully visible ^C C:\export\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\tools>emulator -shell emulator: emulator window was out of view and was recentred # netcfg lo UP 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 0x00000049 eth0 UP 10.0.2.15 255.255.255.0 0x00001043 tunl0 DOWN 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0x00000080 gre0 DOWN 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0x00000080 # --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
