Question: I know that there are several threads posted about this issue, however I believe my problem to be a bit different:

I have installed Android emulator on my desktop.

When i try to browse internet via the emulator, it works perfect.

But the problem is the apps that i have installed in the emulator are not able to access the internet 

i installed whatsapp successfully, the registration screen loads properly, then i entered my mobile number and pressed OK button. I keep getting the following error 

> 
> Unable to connect. Please check that you are connected to the internet
>  and try again. Please reboot your phone if your connection problem
>  persists.

From [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/2169311/1204134):

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

```

inside your `AndroidManifest.xml`
ok... i have the same problem.
but i know, what is the best solution till now for bluestacks connection problem.
you have to install proxycap software.
make new proxy rules for bluestacks.

in c/program\*86/bluestacks/HD-network.exe

this is the file that you have to make rule for.

whatsapp will work and other apps too.
but still u can't download data using bluestacks.

but yes if you have bluetooth then there is no problem. connect ur phone having internet connection.

and your rule's proxy will allow you to download data. the good thing is that 95% data is downloaded through your wired network(LAN). bluetooth connection of phone just helps you to maintain the server side connected...and now go to google store or wtever u want to download. you are good to go.

and just activate a small data pack on your phone.... thanxx.. hope that would help
