Hi there,

I got problem when I begin to build the topology. When I try to map a router to my topology, and chose an IOS which is in the local PC, error message pops up saying:

Can’t connect to the external hypervisor on 192.168.0.3:7201

FYI: 192.168.0.3 is the local PC.

I tried to shutdown my personal firewall but the error remails.

Please advise. Thanks

Hi
Great tutorial. However, I get to the point where you have to associate the images to the local and the external Hypervisors but I do not get the pop up window entitled “IOS Please choose an imaage”. How do you get this window please,so can choose the images/hypevisors associations?
Thank you

very precise and informative.. thanks for posting this… a quick query.. will GNS3 on the host find idle-pc value for the remote server? if yes, then is the process same? right click -> idle-pc ????
thanks

Hello there, it’s a nice tutorial. But I got a problem. Why i can’t ping my directly connected network (one for local hypervisor one for remote) the interface sometimes goes up and down when I saw the router CLI. I used Windows 7 and windows Vista. regards for ur help. Thx

Actually my project aim is to connect a virtual machine on pc1 and other virtual machine on pc2 via gns3 topology. thought of using distributed gns3 on both pcs. will this idea work using the above video?

I tried following the steps of the tutorial. I have 2 machines with address 10.10.1.36 and 10.10.1.37.i added external hypervisors in 10.10.1.37 on port 7200 and on the same machine 10.10.1.36 on port 7201. I started hypervisors on both machines . But when i drag a router it uses local host ios image, as in does it does not ask which image to choose. Both are windows server 2000.

Craig,I haven’t tested to save projects with distributed hypervisor scenario. Do you get any specific error while doing so ?
