Genymotion overrides dhcp of virtualbox network adapter - android

I am running an android image with genymotion 2.8.0 and virtualbox 5.0.28 on osx. My network has a router with dhcp 192.168.1.1 and I want to access my host system (the mac) from android by using 10.0.2.3 or the IP of the MAC. The problem is that the virtual network adapter is always getting an ip in the wrong net vboxnet1 => inet 192.168.57.1
Therefore I tried to changed the interface by setting the dhcp settings. Now every time when I do start the image with genymotion the dhcp settings are getting overridden as show in the screenshot.
So how can I persist the dhcp settings?

The Cause of the Problem
Genymotion is rewriting your network settings in VirtualBox because it has it's own way to handle network connection. That is due to the fact that Genymotion needs to make the android emulator think it has a cellular network or WiFi connection.
Defining Network Through Genymotion Settings
Because you said that Genymotion keeps resetting your VirtualBox's network configurations, I think it might have something to do with Genymotion's own network configuration.
In order to define your network setting in Genymotion, you need to do the following:
Open Genymotion => Settings => Network tab. You will get the following screen and in there you need to enable HTTP Proxy:
It is called a proxy, but it is supposed to work as kind of a "bridge" between your machine's DHCP and the emulator.
You might need to define the connection inside android system too, depending on the case.
If so, inside the emulator itself, go to: Settings => Wi-Fi => Long Click on WiredSSID => Modify network => Advanced options and modify the setting there too accordingly.
If that's not helping, you might need to change the specific setting of your emulator's virtual box:
Network Configuration via Virtualbox Settings
Genymotion uses two different kinds of network configurations in VirtualBox in order to operate.
An internal and technical network (defined in Network =>
Adapter 1 of VirtualBox settings) that helps Genymotion to display
the virtual device screen or forward events (clicks or widgets) to
the virtual device. This network configuration needs to remain untouched. Changing this may prevent Genymotion to run properly.
A network simulating access to your local network and to the Internet (defined in Network => Adapter 2 of VirtualBox settings). This network configuration is the one responsible for the emulator's internet connection.
So, you can configure Network => Adapter 2 of VirtualBox settings as desired, according to the following cases:
Use NAT, if you are using Genymotion on your local machine.
Use Bridged Adapter, if you need your virtual device to use an IP address of your local network (a DHCP server in your local network is required).
You will need to choose the Bridged Adapter option, in your case.
Make sure to change that setting in your specific VirtualBox device.

Can not connect to Genymotion ADB

I have 2 machines in the virtual box :
Santoku(linux) and device from Genymotion emulator
I want to connect to Genymotion ADB from another machine which is Santoku(linux) in the virtual box.
I made a network in Santoku Machine Bridged but when I make Network in Genymotion in the virtual box as Bridged, it is not working and give me this error:
the android emulator works only if I change the network to host only.
and when I try to connect to adb from Santoku machine it gives me:
unable to connect to 192.56.103:5555 (IP of the android machine)
I think you are mixing up the various networks. Let me explain with images.
The Genymotion virtual device has 2 network adapters: a host-only and a NAT or Bridged adapater.
Adapter 1:
Adapter 2:
The first adapter is used exclusively by Genymotion player to communicate with VirtualBox - the Android OS virtualization is handled by VirtualBox and Genymotion emulates the display via OpenGL translation through this interface. It should not be used by anything else but Genymotion.
The second adapter is the device network adapter: this is how the virtual device communicate with your local network to reach the internet. It is NAT by default which means that the device network is handled by VirtualBox DHCP. If you set the device network mode to Bridge, then the device network will be handled by your local network DHCP (as on the second screen).
Communication with the virtual device should be done via the same network as adapter 2. So, the solution is to set your Santoku VM network adapter in Bridge mode and use the same network interface than Genymotion VD adapter 2 (wlo1 in my case):

Genymotion emulator no internet connection

I am trying to connect my genymotion emulator to internet and got this message:
emulator network configuration:
On Mac Os I solved No Internet Connection Problem on Genymotion emulator using next steps:
Go to Android Settings -> System -> Developer Options -> Turn On Developer Options
In Settings go to Network & Internet -> Mobile Network -> Turn Off Data Roaming
In Settings go to Network & Internet -> Data usage -> Turn Off Mobile Data
In Settings go to Network & Internet -> Wi-Fi -> Turn On Wi-Fi
And Internet Connection should be established. Also restarting the emulator may be required.
I didn't change anything in VirtualBox:
Best network configuration for an optimal use of Genymotion
To run properly, Genymotion uses two different network configurations:
An internal and technical network (Network > Adapter 1 of VirtualBox settings)
This network is used for example to display the virtual device screen or forward events (clicks or widgets) to the virtual device.
Changing this network configuration may prevent Genymotion to run properly.
If you get the message Unable to connect to the virtual device, please refer to When I start a virtual device, why does the window remain black?.
A network simulating access to your local network and to the Internet (Network > Adapter 2 of VirtualBox settings)
You can configure it as desired, but be aware that an error in this configuration may prevent Genymotion to access the local network and the Internet.
We recommend that you use the following configuration:
NAT, if you are using Genymotion on your local machine.
Bridged Adapter, if you need your virtual device to use an IP address of your local network (a DHCP server in your local network is required).
Currently, this network is regarded as the Wi-Fi connection of your virtual device.
Reference:
https://www.genymotion.com/#!/support?chapter=network-configuration#faq
First of, check your VirtualBox Host-Only Network #2 in: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections, has the correct properties as follows:
Navigate to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections and Right click the Connection: VirtualBox Host-Only Network #2
Select Properties
From the popup, activate the VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver by checking/ticking the check-box and click OK
Lastly, navigate to Oracle VM Box\Google Nexus 7 4.4.4 ...\Settings\Network\Adapter 2 and enable the Network Adapter 2.
Hope this helps resolve your issue.
PS.
If you are connected via wireless and you have followed the above, do try un-checking the cable connected check box under Adapter 2 as shown in the image below.
Try this:
Just turn Wifi on and select WiredSSID network.
1) Open the Oracle VM VirtualBox manager
2) Settings->Network
3) Select the Adapter 2 (Adapter 1 is used primary by Genymotion and cannot change)
4) Select the NAT
5) Restart the VM and Genymotion
Otherwise:
Try on the virtual device > go into Settings > Wi-Fi > Select the IP automatically > After that just click on Done > and now... connected to the internet.
try to uninstall your android virtual device that cannot access internet in genymotion, and re-install a new virtual device. I tried and fixed.
The reason I guess is I installed genymotion and add virtual device before install the virtualbox.
Update Virtualbox and clear-cache work in my case
update virtualbox
genny motion - preference - misc - clear-cache -> restart emulator
I faced the same issue and followed all above instructions, but not worked.
Open Oracle VM Virtual box
Select the custom phone ->right click->settings->General->Basic
Change the type to your current OS (My case Mac OS X)
Choose Version of the Mac OS (64 bit)
Only this solved my problem.
My problem was that I changed the IP of my machine, and I already had the vitual device configured. To solve, I clicked on wifi on the virtual device, clicked on the WiredSSID network and chose the "forget" option.
Open the Oracle VM VirtualBox manager, Settings->Network, Select the Adapter 2 because Adapter 1 is used primary by Genymotion and that's why each time you change it and restart the vm it reset itself to old settings, using Bridged Adapter and select the working network card. if you are behind proxy, please use NAT
In my Mac, genymotion device's WiFi was off. So I solve this issue only by turning on the WiFi. and internet starts back to work
Try to ping your VM ip :
ping 192.168..
it is possible that a firewall blocks the connection. try to stop it : go to process and search for firewall and stop it.
I had similar issue:
I had a LAN cable internet connection to my laptop. (No wifi )
In Genymotion, I opened wifi and there was a wifi network available , just connected to that network. Then it worked.
(But actually I haven't turned my modem wifi, I think its some kind of virtual wifi)
In your Computer go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Network Connections then change the Network Adapter Preferred DNS Server to 8.8.8.8 which is Google Server
Below steps helped me:
(i) Enabled network from sidebar
(ii) Enabled Developer Options
Late but I had a similar issue when running Genymotion(3.2.1) on Windows10
I had the Windows "Virtual Machine Platform" on as I was using WSL2
I disabled it,restarted my system and Genymotion got connected to internet.
Hope someone finds this useful.
What worked was pulling down the notification bar and clicking the Wi-Fi icon to turn it off and then back on again 😂

How to enable Genymotion emulator to use the WIFI internet the host is using

The app I am running on Genymotion emulator needs internet. The internet does not seem to work on the Genymotion emulator. I tried to confirm this by opening the browser, and this is what I got:
I am running Windows 7 on my laptop and using the Wifi internet. I opened Oracle VM Virtual box, navigated to Settings > Network, and the following two images show what I see there:
So how do I enable the emulator to use the internet from my computer?
Note: Please tell me in layman terms. I saw articles and questions talking in terms of IP addresses and other things which are strange for me.
EDIT 1:
goto settings in the device and turn on the device wifi, in the android OS. You haven't mentioned it in your post I'm just covering the basic solutions here.
Simply choose the Host-only Adapter for Adapter 1 and NAT for Adapter 2.
Make sure the cable-connected is selected(ticked).
Host-only can be used to create a network containing the host and a set of virtual machines, without the need for the host's physical network interface. Instead, a virtual network interface (similar to a loopback interface) is created on the host, providing connectivity among virtual machines and the host.
This works for me.
Hope it helps.
Try just turning on the WiFi in GenyMotion and selecting the WiredSSID.
I know this question been answered, but thought a picture would be easy to understand. Hope it helps.
No of the above solution worked for me, I fixed the issue by changing the ip address settings on the adapter by going to File >> Preferences >> Network in VirtualBox:
Adapter
IP: 192.168.217.2
Network Mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP Server
Server Address: 192.168.217.100
Server Mask: 255.255.255.0
Lower Address Bound: 192.168.217.101
Upper Address Bound: 192.168.217.254
Go to settings >> Network in VirtualBox: adapter 1 >> advanced >> MAC address button generated new mac address.
I hope it solves the problem.
Go to your PC Ethernet or WIFI Settings and change the Adapter Preferred DNS Server to 8.8.8.8
In Genymotion,
Go to settings of your device and make sure adapter that you have selected is NAT(Default) not bridged or anything..
Now, make sure that your PC is connected to Internet...
It will work , most probably

Genymotion proxy with user/password

I'm running Android through Genymotion using the following configuration:
For the Host-Only I used 192.168.1.213 and DHCP allocates addresses starting with 192.168.1.214
My computer is behind a Squid proxy that has user and password, and address 192.168.1.2 with port 4444
I start the Android VM and in Genymotion Configuration I can see IP Management to be IP 192.168.1.214. I can also ping this address from my computer with success, so all good until here.
If I go to Menu -> Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Wi-Fi -> WiredSSID -> Modify Network, I see IP address 10.0.3.15 - why is that?
Also, if I try to configure proxy, all I get is host and port, but no options for user/pass, so when I try to access a page in the browser, it says that proxy authentication doesn't work.
Is there a way to configure Android to work through my proxy? If so, what should I configure?
Thank you
Your IP configuration looks correct.
There is two connection between genymotion and your host.
The first one is only technical, to allow Genymotion to run (host
only).
The other one is the one that will be used when trying to get
internet from Genymotion. (NAT)
In Genymotion Settings, under proxy settings, you will be able to set your username & password for your proxy.
If you want to do more complex authentication schemes, like NTLM or Kerberos, Genymotion won't work. But as a workaround, you could use tools like Cntlm, or NtlmAps, that will provide a local, non authenticated, proxy and take care of upstream proxy authentication for Genymotion.
This settings will only work for the sofware Genymotion.
Inside Android, you will also need to set a proxy in the settings.
Go to: Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Long Click on "WiredSSID" -> Modify network -> Check "show advanced settings".
As mentionned there, the proxy will only works for the Browser, and maybe Gmail also.
You will need to set it also on the settings of each app you trying to use.
Not all of your apps will provide a proxy setting. I think Twitter does, but if your app doesn't provide one, you're screwed!
I found a much simpler solution.
All you have to do is to create a rule in proxifier which will let genymotion to use the host default ip. In this way it will manage to connect to the oracle virtual machine ( which has no problem with working with proxifier; obviously, in proxifier you will setup your proxy with its authentication credentials).

No network in VirtualBox (Android)

I am unable to set up a network connection on my Android emulator using VirtualBox. I followed multiple posts that tell me to set the adapter to Bridged or NAT.
When I execute netcfg in the console while the Android is running, the following lines show:
lo UP 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 0x0000049
eth0 UP 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0x0001003
I need the left address from eth0 to use in Eclipse. Any tips how I can configure my internet?
edit:
It has to do that I'm using a wireless laptop. Are there any ways around to enable a faster emulator on Eclipse than the default one provided by Google?
If you set the adapter to NAT you must set your network configuration to DHCP, but if you want set the adapter to Bridged set your network configuration manually according to your network.
Maybe isn't a network problem and it's a ISO image problem, check this question:
