Setting up GNS3

---

Hi All

So I want to upgrade to something with a little more power than Packet Tracer and I hear GNS3 is the next best thing so I found the video series we have here on ITPro.TV, but I'm getting lost during the Win 10 installation. I have VMWare Workstation Player. I've imported the GNS3 VM and installed the GNS3 for Windows software but I can never get the software to see the GNS 3 VM when it is running.

I have figured out that I can just web into the VM using the IP that it provides on the console screen.

I have two questions; is there a configuration issue with VMWare that the GNS3 software can't seem to find it, because in the software, it says it can't?

Or can I just use the web interface instead?

Thanks,
Daniel

@Daniel-Cayea,

With the latest edition of GNS3, they've moved to the web interface. That is the preferred method today. When the course was created, the web interface was "teased" just not completed. If I get a chance I will update the course to reflect the newer web interface as well.

Thanks for replying. I was reading your signature, how do you mark a topic as solved?

@Daniel-Cayea,

If you had posted this as a question, you would have had that option. But you posted as just a standard post. No need to mark as solved!
