Does the emulated system think that it has no longer connectivity? I.e. no 
more 3G icon in the status bar, and the browser complains with a dialog if 
you try to use it.

3G icon is still there in the emulator. Any apps trying to perform web 
activity get host not found error messages.

If not, what kind of error is reported by the browser when trying to access 
a site.

In the browser I get the standard android icon with the unable to contact 
server message

If the problem limited to DNS or not (i.e. can the browser access a site by 
only using its IP address?)

Good question! Next time it happens, I'll try using ip addys instead and see 
if it works.

Can you connect to the emulator console with "telnet localhost 5554" or even 
"adb shell" when this happens?

adb continues to perform fine. Nothing in logcat appears around the time 
connectivity has lost other than messages saying "unable to contact host". I 
can still install apps via adb. Haven't tried telnet to the emu, but assumed 
that since adb still works fine then telnet should be. I'll check it next 
time.

Which exact platform are your running the emulator on?

Running on win xp sp3 using adt9.

Similar to metal mikey, I also notice it mostly happens if the emulator has 
been left open for many hours (i.e. a day or more). But I did notice the 
connectivity stopped a few days after the emu had been running for only a 
couple of hours but I had been doing a lot of adb installs in that time.
