Hi David I have a problem with my GNS3 in fact when I start it, it cannot synchronize with my computer to be able to use the resources of my computer but it shows me this message saying that "could not connect to 127.0 .0.1 on port: (WinError 10061) No connection could be established because the target computer expressly refused it. Please! can you give me the solution? please really

[@kazkz5331]

David Please update 7:21, where you talk about VMware player. VMware workstation pro is now available free for personal use. It's the recommended option.

[@gleep23]

I like your professionalism. Perfect balance of a real user experience, as a tech professional - without being a marketing ad!

[@benedalati1527]

I had issues to get the vm LED go green on me. I spent hours reading about it on the gns3 community but could not get it to turn on green. I ended up uninstalling and starting fresh. The only thing I changed was after installing the GUI, I enable the gns3vm before downloading the GNS3 VM and it worked. Don't know why but I am thankful for this video. If you get a chance you may want to address that issues. I think lots of folks run into it. Regards Ben

I have tried to get this to work 2 seperate times on 2 seperate machines, and being a novice, self-taught hobbiest, I'm on the 3ed video and the errors in immediately noticed I honestly dont know how I made what i did work. Your sir are a godsend.

Thank you for this video. You clearly explained how to set up and use the GNS3 VM with the GNS3 client. I tried setting this up on my Mac in the past, but did not understand the interoperation of the client and the GNS3 VM (using Fusion), and the instructions provided by GNS3 are not very thorough. I’ll give this a try and hopefully have success.

Just want to address, if no one has pointed this out, I am running GNS3, VMWare Fusion on Mac Os X Catalina (latest as of July 27,2020). I had an issue with GNS3 not displaying a 'green' light under the server summary for the corresponding VM. On VMWare Fusion, I went into Configure, and noticed the port was set to 80. Changed the port to 3080 and save/write those changes. This fixed my issue. It took me three hours, reinstalling everything. Googling.

[@mumus36]

Great video by the way Dave.

[@davidbombal]

Glad you enjoyed it Mustapha

[@thesadgeone6246]

For those who have AMD and can't find where to enable virtualization, it's called "SVM mode."

[@Shankar.Acharya]

Thanks David, i'm following from last six month, and now i watched this video six time and found our solution is to there is port issue with my vm showing that is 80 and doing mistake in GNS3 VM setting default was different. So issue resolved to correct port no. 80 on both GNS3 VM setting and VMware.

[@junaid_qadir]

Hi David, first of all thank you very much for the very informative tutorial. I am facing an issue as I installed everything correctly, but when I run the VMWare, it shows me this message, ``` Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this platform. Continue without virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT? ``` When I click on "No", it shows "Failed to start the virtual machine". While upon clicking "Yes", it shows: ```VMware Workstation does not support nested virtualization on this host. Module 'HV' power on failed. Failed to start the virtual machine. ``` Would you mind letting me know the possible solution, please? Thanks

[@AnselmoSB]

Was having this error too, my workaround was opening the Vmware Workstation and editing the GNS3 Virtual Machine disabling the "Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT" feature.

[@97ashil]

HI, I had this issue in win11, turning off memory core isolation in device security fixed it for me. I don't personally like turning off security features in my machine but only that seems to be a workaround for it for now at least if you are on win 11

[@HRKnight]

If you're watching this and it's not working for you, that's because you're using VMware workstation 15, the current version. Using VMware workstation player 14 with VIX 1.17 will work. You have to navigate the vmware website to find the version 14 (its buried, but its there) and version 1.17. THEN if you're using windows 10, it'll try to tell you that you cannot use that app, so then you need to turn off windows program compatibility by shutting down the service, then reboot, and then rename the .exe for vmware player 14 (I googled instructions on how to do this, it's not hard) THEN...well, I still didn't get vmrun to ever work, so I just manually opened vmware player 14...not a huge deal to me. USING VMWARE PLAYER 15 IS NOT CURRENTLY RECOMMENDED, I found all this info on the GNS3 forums. wrmem.net/index.php/2016/03/22/gns3-vm-and-vmware-workstation-12-player-could-not-find-the-default-vm-directory/ gns3.com/community/discussion/gns3-doesn-t-work-on-vmware-play that is, as of this current date 11/10/2019. I also can't think of a different workaround for anyone using Intel, but AMD users can just use Virtual Box as it now supports nested virtualization for AMD processors (apparently doesn't work with Intel yet?)

Please not that 15.5 works now. See this: gns3.com/community/discussion/gns3-with-workstation-player-15-

Dear David Bombal, I would like to express my appreciation for your teaching methodology and the precise instructions provided to ensure that GNS3 runs smoothly.

Hi. Interesting video. Anyway, I still haven't understood why we need to install a GNS3 GUI (and its server) on our Windows PC and a GNS3 VM in VmWare? Couldn't we run anything in VMWare and install images of devices in the GNS3 vm only? Why do I need both? Thanks

[@mehrdadmomeni3678]

Some times the vm server doesn't turn green; so we need to disable all VMware's NICs then enable them back. It worked for me.

[@itex1]

Itx very helpful great job sir

[@josephallen5816]

That is a clear and a fantastic tutorial, Dave. Here is my question, my intel doesn't support vt-x (advanced virtualization technology) but VT-only ( I enabled it in my BIOS). So unless I start GNS3 VM manually without vt-x and connect it with GUI, it won't start by default from GUI because the default startup requires VT-x to be enabled which I don't have on my PC. I tried to install net devices, it says KVM is not available. Is there any solution?

[@hassanm.al-jawahry9142]

Hello sir, did you find the solution?
