VS2013 Windows Phone 8 Emulator cannot connect to internet

3

I am running a simple ootb new Windows Phone 8.0 application in the emulator for Visual Studio 2013. I am using a Surface Pro, 1st generation, core i5, 4 GB RAM. Hyper V is installed, with no other virtualizing systems (like VirtualBox). Connecting via wireless.

When I run the emulator and am prompted, "Do you want to configure the emulator to connect to the Internet?", if I select "Yes", I get the following error message:

The Windows Phone Emulator wasn't able to create the external network switches:
Something happened while creating a switch:
Failed while creating virtual Ethernet switch.
Ethernet port '{...}' - bind failed: {Out of Paper} The printer is out of paper. (0x8000000E).

I have tried running through solutions suggested here and here, but unsuccessfully.

Any further ideas as to what can be done?

Is there a virtual switch in hyper-v called " Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch"? This was not created for me when I ran into your situation. If you create a new one manually with that exact name, and set to internal, it should work. I found the solution on a bloenter link description hereg.
