I am trying to use internet with the Android emulator, but with no success. Any ideas?

If by "use internet", you mean you can not access the internet from an activity while testing on the emulator, make sure you have set the internet permission in your AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

If you are using the web browser, refer to Donal's post

Try launching the Emulator from the command line as follows:

emulator -verbose -avd <AVD name>

This will give you detailed output and may show the error that's preventing the emulator from connecting to the Internet.

Check your internet settings, firewalls and such may be blocking it, I know when I was working on it in college they were blocking the port number but I've never had any trouble on my home machines

If you run into this problem and are working with a non-Windows/Mac OS (Ubuntu in my case), try starting the emulator by itself in Android SDK and AVD Manager then running your application.

Allow the ADB to access the network by opening it on the firewall

If you are using winvista and above, go to Windows Advance Firewall under Administrative tool in Control Panel and enable it from there
