Upgraded to SDK 2.3 – now no emulators have connectivity

I found a temporary solution for people having this problem.

You can start your AVD in CMD prompt like this

Windows

C:\program files\android\android-sdk-windows\tools\emulator -avd <avdname> -dns-server 8.8.8.8

Mac

cd ~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator
./emulator -avd <avdname> -dns-server 8.8.8.8

8.8.8.8 is google public DNS.

The problem seems to be that the emulator can’t find the DNS your computer is currently using.
