Android Emulator cant start without internet connection

Hey guys I've just installed Android Studio on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and I have all the needed Sdks and other accessories I think needs to be installed. I can run the emulator whenever I've an Internet connection, but if I disconnect the Internet and try to run the emulator, I get this error message:

Cannot launch AVD in emulator.
Output:
qemu-system-i386: it seems too many emulator instances are running on this machine. Aborting
WARNING: unable to configure any DNS servers, name resolution will not work

Someone suggested I do this: "ifconfig lo up" but whenever I do that nothing change, and I still get the same error when running the emulator offline.

Can you guys please help me.

I think I found a way around this after sleepless nights of trials and errors. All I had to do was to turn off WIFI and disable networking, and then the emulator started when I ran it. Don't know if this is a temporary fix, but I have my emulator working perfectly for now. Hope this helps others in similar situation.
