Mac OSX – GNS3 Connecting To the Internet
KB ID 0001170 Dtd 26/03/16 Problem I have a love hate relationship with GNS3, I appreciate it’s brilliant, (when it works). I also appreciate that it’s free, and people put a lot of effort into its development for very little reward. But when I try to do simple things, like connect my projects/labs to the internet and it’s massively overcomplicated I get pretty exasperated. With Windows this is easy, (I’ve...
GNS3 Update – Could Not Find a VM Named ‘GNS3 VM’
KB ID 0001160 Dtd 16/02/16 Problem GNS3 had nagged me the last few times I tried to use it about upgrading, so I downloaded and installed the update and it stopped here; Could not find a VM named ‘GNS3 VM’ is it imported in VMware or Virtualbox I use both VMware Fusion and Virtualbox.

GNS3 – Assign an IP Address to Linux Microcore QEMU Guest
KB ID 0000932 Dtd 31/03/14 Problem The whole point of having these guest machines is for testing communications, putting an IP address on them so you can ping things, is a pretty basic step. Solution 1. Console in, and execute the following commands, obviously change the IP addresses to the ones you require. sudo su ifconfig eth0 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.0.0.0 up route add ip default gw 10.10.10.1 route add default gw 10.10.10.1...
