I'm trying to test an intranet site in the Android emulator, but I can't seem to get the emulator to access our intranet. For example, the site I'm trying to access is at http://compass/messages, but trying that page in the browser gives me a Google search result page instead of the intranet site.

I can access the INTERNET with the emulator, but not the INTRANET. I can access the intranet from the host machine, and from the iPhone simulator on the same machine.

I'm assuming there's some sort of weird command line thing I need to do, but I'm pretty clueless...any ideas?

A: 

Intranet site may require proxy.

You can set the proxy in Settings

Uh...I'm pretty clueless HOW it connects, I do have DNS server settings that appear to be on the local network, so I'm assuming it's the latter.

You need to talk to the adminstrator of your intranet and understand in detail how that works before you can treat this as an android problem.

I don't think "Tell me in detail how the intranet works" is going to get me very far. Anything specific I should be asking? What would I need to configure in the emulator once I have the answers?
