The emulator is acting as it's own device on it's own network segment (behind a virtual router), basically. http://code.google.com/android/reference/emulator.html#emulatornetworking
So, it's not really on the same "LAN." The emulator has aliases for the DNS servers the host machine has, and you can redirect host and guest addresses and ports with the "redir" command - but if you are trying to dynamically discover stuff on the network segment IT is on, you won't "see" much. Assuming you are trying to write something that would be used in the real world to somehow work with auto-discovered devices on an IP network, then you probably want to use the WiFi APIs anyway. The providers IP network (non WiFi) won't be useful to you anyway, the carriers don't usually allow you to access that IP address. Getting a WiFi IP can be done with WifiInfo - http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/net/wifi/package-summary.html. (The WiFi IP address should pertain to the segment you are on, which I am guessing is more what you want.) Also, though this sounds like an interesting app you are working on, you probably won't be able to work on it in the emulator. Rather, you will need a real device. As far as I know the WiFi stuff still is not supported in the emulator. (If someone knows better/more, please correct me, but last I heard no WiFi from the emulator.)
