Same here,I need my emulator machine to be on the same network as the host so other devices on the same network can see it and connect to it, is that possible?
Thanks

TTSTTS, it is a good idea to read the topic you post in before you post in it. Hint hint... :wink:

Thanks for replying scottgus1,
I have read the Bridged Networking in the manual and looked at the photos but couldn't make it to work.
When changing to Bridged Networking and choosing Wifi or USB my Android Tablet emulator (Genymotion, NoxAppPlayer), it don't have any intent connection.
I was hoping someone can explain how to do it

Thanks

The tutorial mentions something about this:

How are you doing this:

Please download a typical Linux ISO like Ubuntu or Mint. Make a new VM. If you have a wired Ethernet adapter or USB-to-wired-Ethernet adapter, wire up to your network, then set the VM's network adapter to Bridge to the wired adapter. Try the Linux VM, see if you can get internet in the VM. Then use the same process setting up a new emulator VM.
