[FIXED] Adb server not responding

Issue

I am a Android newbie. I guess I might be doing something stupid here. I have started the Virtual Device and I see that adbd daemon is running from the Terminal Emulator. When I run adb devices I get the following error:

C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * 
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon * 
error: cannot connect to daemon

No other process is using port 5037. What am I doing wrong? Here are the packages I have installed -

1) Android SDK Tools, revision 10
2) Android SDK Platform-Tools, revision 3
3) SDK Platform Android 2.3.3, API 10, revision 1

Solution

I turned off the Windows Firewall and its working like magic. I am connected to the Internet through WiFi. If you are not behind a proxy and are still unable to access the Internet through a wireless link via the emulator, go to Device Manager and disable your LAN card.
