title: Android AVD emulator accessing Internet from behind firewall
body: <p>Is it possible to access the Internet from an Android 4.1 AVD emulator, running on a PC behind a firewall?</p>
  
  <p>If I click on the Browser icon, I get an error saying "<em>Webpage not available.  Make sure you have a data connection.</em>"<br>
  If I click on the Maps icon, I get an error saying "<em>Network failure.  This application requires a working data connection.</em>"<br>
  If I try to add an Email account, I get an error saying "<em>Couldn't open connection to server.</em>"</p>
  
  <p>I have added <strong>-dns-server 10.xxx.xx.31,10.xxx.xx.32  -http-proxy <a href="http://10.xxx.xx.201:8080" rel="nofollow">http://10.xxx.xx.201:8080</a></strong> <em>(with correct IP addresses!)</em> to emulator.exe command-line, but this does not seem to make any difference?</p>
  
  <p>I can see the "<strong>3G</strong>" symbol next to a triangle at the top of the screen, and I can toggle it using [<strong>F8</strong>] key, but this does not seem to make any difference either.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help,<br>
  Best regards,<br>
