I'm running Ubuntu 13.04. I've installed VirtualBox 4.3.6 and Genymotion 2.0.3. After installation, I downloaded the Galaxy S4 - 4.2.2 image, as well as a few others. All of them encounter the same problem: After clicking Play, I get the window for the virtual device, but then I get an error:
Unable to connect to your virtual device! Genymotion will now stop. Check your VirtualBox network configuration.
The VirtualBox network is configured like this:
After hitting Play, I look in the genymotion-player.log and see the following related to networking:
Jan 10 00:51:12 [Genymotion Player] [Debug] "Name: vboxnet0

...and, a bit later in the log:

Still later in the log:

Jan 10 00:51:13 [Genymotion Player] [Debug] Waiting for an IP address...
A couple of seconds later:
Jan 10 00:51:18 [Genymotion Player] [Debug] Genymotion system started. Attributed IP address: "192.168.56.3"
And then, when it fails:
Jan 10 00:51:24 [Genymotion Player] [Error] Unable to connect player to virtual machine: "192.168.56.3"
I've tried other workarounds suggested:
I also should state that I do not have a firewall, so I'm confident there's no issue arising because of interference.

Turns out the problem was that I'm running both VMWare and, to support Genymotion, VirtualBox.
I discovered this with help from the Genymotion support, who pointed out that when I run:
sudo netstat -nm
the result is something like:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
0.0.0.0 192.168.100.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
172.16.30.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vmnet1
192.168.56.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vmnet8
192.168.56.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vboxnet0
192.168.100.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
I was able to fix this by going into VirtualBox, and from the Network section of the Preferences dialog, I changed every reference to 192.168.56.* in the vboxnet0 configuration to 192.168.57.*.
THANK YOU Genymotion support team!
