Does Dynagen work on Vista?

[Giant99]

I have downloaded dynagen and when I try an run it the CMD box pops up for a fraction of a second and then just shuts down. That is all I get.

Am I doing something wrong?

Try running as admin.. R-Click on the app then select run as administrator! If you run the Dynamips server just run it normally then the Dynagen app as admin.. Just play around until it works.. This is most likely the issue!

Hi

Thanks for your advise. I ahve tried to mess with it but still get the same result. I must have a bad copy.

Try

I am 100% positive that this will work on Vista 32bit! Just follow the above advice!

This is a great piece of software. Thanks a lot for pointing me to it.

I have been setting it up. The the problem I am having is that when I run 3 routers, with my 3640 IOS, the CPU goes up to 100% with the idle pc set up already in place.

This is on my office PC running XP with 1GB of RAM.

Thanks for any help.

You need more tha just 1GB, especially running more than one router...

Hi there,


I have now installed GNS3 on my Vista (2GB RAM) at home and I'm running into problems.

I have enabled the telnet client but when clicking on the telnet button on GNS3 it comes up with an error message.

'The system cannot find the file specified'.

I have an IOS listed in the Hypervisors box (c3640-jk9o3s-mz.124-16a) but when clicking the check for minimum RAM requirement button an error message pops up.

'Image file box is empty'

I would appreciate any help.

Let me share:

(This site has tons of video regarding GNS3)

(More videos and front page has how to use PuTTy for console access) Here is a link to the gns3sessions.dat file that you will need to get this going.. The link on the page is broken so use this one..

http://www.brainbump.net/download/gns3sessions.dat

when you get to this step.. Just copy the code and paste it into notepad (Windows) and save as gns3sessions.dat

Hey Burt,
I think he should be fine with XP and a gig of RAM emulating three instances of IOS... Vista is another matter but he should really only be using around 5-600MB with three routers and XP will run on 256... May not be flying but it should work!
