Windows Phone 8 Emulator can't start

Question

I have installed windows phone 8 SDK and tried running a simple app. When I try to run the app in emulator the emulator does not get internet connection. It displays an error message saying "You don't have permission to modify internal Hyper-V network adapter settings required to run the emulator". Im sure my login has admin permissions.

Can anyone tell me how to get it working. Thanks so much..

You should try out the following things -

1. Run VS 2012 as administrator.
2. Open Hyper-V Manager and check the Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch from Virtual Switch Manager. Remove the emulator switch and start a new instance of the emulator.
3. If your host computer has a WLAN connection, you should check whether it is running fine or not.
4. If your host computer is in a dedicated network, you can do a wired tethering and create a peer to peer network with another computer. Enable unrestricted internet in one of the systems, share the connection with the other computer, the emulator running in that, will also get the shared internet.

Hope this helps. :)
