Not able to start Genymotion device

I am getting an error when I try to start Genymotion. It says

The Genymotion Virtual device could not obtain an IP address.For an unknown reason, VirtualBox DHCP has not assigned an IP address to virtual device. Run the VirtualBox software to check for issues

Can someone please tell me how to start it?

Can I run Genymotion without VirtualBox?

Think of it as you are running mint in a virtual box container, now to run the gennymotion emulators you need to install the virtual box, but this is very tideous are bad idea, it is recomended that you do a full OS install.

How do I turn off Genymotion emulator?

if you are connected to an android vm with the genymotion frontend, try to press the power-down button (right low corner) and keep pressing it until the shutdown menu appears.

I had this same issue and here are the specific configuration that I needed to get this to work.

First, go to the VirtualBox preferences -> Network.

For the "Host-only Networks" tab, focus on the vboxnet0.

Click the icon on the left that looks like a screwdriver. For the Adapter tab, fill in the IPv4 Network Address as 192.168.56.1 Fill in the IPv4 Network Mask as 255.255.255.0

enter image description here

For the DHCP Server tab, select the check box for Enable Server to enable the server Fill in the Server Address as 192.168.56.100 Fill in the Server Mask as 255.255.255.0 Fill in the Lower Address Bound as 192.168.56.101 Fill in the Upper Address Bound as 192.168.56.254

The DHCP server part is what was not correct for me and it fixed my problem.
