I apparently can’t even get the path right. This is on a 64bit Vista OS. The path it seems it should be is

C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY Connection Manager\puttycm.exe

but this does not appear to work.

I installed puttycm successfully, but when I try to open it up for the first time it is asking for the path of putty.exe, I went to the puttycm folder and clicked the putty icon. when I double clicked the icon again it is saying that there are no log files created, options is to create and cancel. If I create a notepad appears but i do not know what to put inside the notepad and where to save it… if I click now puttycm closes…

please help

Well, is ease create your own databese with connection to GNS3, I did it, just use the next information:

Name: Console 2000 (Add 1, each time)
Host: 127.0.0.1 (Always the same)
Protocol: Telnet
Port: 2000 (Use to start)

Then, new connection:
Name: Console 2001 (Add 1, each time)
Host: 127.0.0.1 (Always the same)
Protocol: Telnet
Port: 2001 (Use same as name, for reference)

ans so on.

My best regards.

The solution for “Internal error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object” also worked for me! Checking the “show icon in system tray” option solved the problem!! Thanks for the solution!”

Yeah, it works for me too!

I tried out everything in your tutorial as mentioned. But for some reason it shows me that the application already started. How do I fix this error?

For some reason Putty CM didn’t exit cleanly and putty and puttycm processes are still running. Go to task manager / processes and kill the putty ssh processes first before puttycm.
