adb can't connect to 127.0.0.1:5555

I was trying to follow the instructions provided in this reply to the question of having a faster adb. However upon doing step 6, I run into the error unable to connect to 127.0.0.1:5555.

The only difference in my set-up from the one described in the link is that I am using VMware. During VM set-up, I didn't see any options to set-up a "Network: PCnet-Fast III", but it is already set to NAT. (Okay. Pardon me as I am not very comfortable with ne开发者_如何转开发tworking stuff yet.)

Doing netcfg gives me

lo   UP   127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 0x00000049
eth0 DOWN 0.0.0.0   0.0.0.0   0x00001002

Any hints?

Thanks!

(BTW, sorry if linking to another thread/answer is bad form in StackOverflow. I'm used to forums discussion and, in the thread I linked to, I no longer see anyway to add a comment or something.)

Only 4 months late, but if you have a router at home (which is very likely), then use a Bridged Adapter, so that it becomes another device on your home network. You can then

./adb connect 192.168.0.5

oh i find answer. before use adb connect command most use adb kill-server command. see following url. thanks to all. android-x86.org
