The last time I used GNS3 was on Ubuntu... or Mint... I can't remember, but it was on a Linux platform and it performed flawlessly.
In my current living conditions I don't have the space to run a separate Linux box so I attempted the Windows 7 64 bit installation.
I can't use it. I have been working with it for a week now without any success. I have tried multiple IOS images:
c2600-adventerprisek9_ivs-mz.124-21a
c2600-ipbasek9-mz.124-18
c2691-adventerprisek9_ivs-mz.124-15.T12
c3745-advipservicesk9-mz.124-15.T6
Plus many more, but you get the idea. I have issues with consoling into the routers. I have routers auto-magically creating WIC interfaces. Dynamips crashes at random times.
I have looked through their forums and I see where people mention the same issues but nobody every lists a resolution. A few mention using the windows XP compatibility fix but that isn't an option for Home Premium users such as myself. Screw you Microsoft.
Windows Vista compatibility doesn't work. Running as administrator doesn't work. Changing console ports doesn't work. Shutting down every other bit of software on my system doesn't work.
I really need this for my CCNP studies so now I am downloading the VM Player so that I can try GNS3's virtual machine.
Anybody else here have similar issues?
