or, can you tell us how to setup a console from the puttycm so we can setup a database on our own?

I have watched the vid and installed PuTTYcm. I have the DB configured and when I start GNS3, all looks good when I open Console, PuTTYcm opens, but none of the connections connect to any router.

Can someone give me any ideas of what to check?

Regards

Hi,

Many Thanks for the tutorial!
I am running into a small issue and hope someone can help me figure it out.

Here is my setup:
- total of 3 routers running in GNS3.

Issues:
1) I am only able to connect to the first two routers and not the 3rd using PuttyCM.
2) Router 1′s connection is actually on “Console 2001″ (not on 2000)
3) Router 2 is actually on “Console 2007″.

Double clicking on all others Console ports in connection manager does not do anything and connection to R3 does not exist even though it is powered on in GNS3.

Thanks again. All help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Thanks for the Great Tutorial. I saw the posts related to error some people are getting, if they actually view the Video properly there wont be any problems. It took me <5 mins to set it up.

Thanks Again

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?
