title: Network connection issues with Visual Studio Emulator for Android
body: <p>I have been using the Visual Studio Emulator for Android for a while now for testing Xamarin.Android applications, but lately I have run into a new issue that I wasn't seeing previously. Before, when launching the emulator, there would be a brief interruption to my PC's network connection and then it would come back online and both the emulator and my PC would have a network connection and internet access. Lately, however, when I launch an emulator, my PC loses its network connection while the emulator has a connection. If I repair my PC network connection, it restores connectivity for my PC but the emulator loses its connection.</p>
  
  <p>It looks like I can only have one or the other connected to the internet at any given time but I know for a fact that this was not the case before. I have done some searching and tried various troubleshooting steps that I found online but nothing has fixed the issue.</p>
  
  <p>I am on the latest version of the Visual Studio Emulator for Android as of today (2017-03-27) and I have tried the following steps:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Deleted all my existing emulators from within Visual Studio Emulator for Android</li>
  <li>Repair the installation for Visual Studio Emulator for Android</li>
  <li>Deleted all virtual switches from within the Hyper-V Manager</li>
  <li>Ran XDECleanup.exe</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>At least one of my co-workers is experiencing this exact same behavior so I am sure that others out there are running into this problem as well.</p>
