How to integrate a Microsoft Loopback interface with GNS3 on windows 7


To add your local machine to GNS3 emulator, 1st you have to add Microsoft loopback interface to your computer..

Beginning with Windows 7,

The add hardware wizard can no longer be started from Control Panel. In earlier versions of Windows, end users often started this wizard because they believed that it would install a Plug and Play device, which often led to incorrect results. Because this wizard is intended for driver developers, removing the wizard from Control Panel protects the end user from making this mistake.
Developers can still run the Add Hardware Wizard by following these steps.

[1]  The developer must be a member of the Administrators group on the computer and run the Add Hardware Wizard from an elevated command prompt. type run at the the start menu . then  click on  Run.



·  [2]       From the run window, run Hdwwiz.exe to start the Add Hardware Wizard.


[3] Following window will appear. Click Next

[4] Select the advanced option or Click Install the hardware that I manually select from a list..then click Next



 [5]Click Network adapters, and then click Next.




[6] It will take sometime to retrieve information after that


[7] In the Manufacturer box, click Microsoft.In the Network Adapter box, click Microsoft Loopback Adapter, and then click Next.

[8]  Click Finish.Congratulations you have successfully crated the loopback interface


[9] next go to the Network and Sharing Center.


[10] Click on Change adapter settings
 

[11] select Ms loopback adapter  .Right click on it go to properties then select IPv4 propertise

 [12] configure your ip addresses as you wish. But remember your default gateway should be your GNS3 router interface address .


 [13] Now open GNS3 emulator and create a new project...


[14] add a router and a cloud to your project...


[15] Right click on the cloud. then go to configurations.. at the NIO Ethernet tab select ms loopback from the drop down menu... then click add.. finally select ok....

Important :

To add msloopback to gns3 your local account should be an administrator account. If you still got problem with gns3 such as not showing the interfaces.
close the GNS3 then right click on it go to properties select Compatibility tab and put a tick on the Run this program as the administrator under previlege level 

Congratulations you have successfully connected your local machine to GNS3.... enjoy

Install Windows 8 Consumer preview in VMware Workstation part I


Microsoft is providing ISO images of the Windows 8 Consumer customer Preview software shown at the BUILD key note.  Read this post to learn how to install Windows 8 on VMWare Workstation.



Step 1:

Download Windows 8 :


 
Step 2: 

Install VMWare Workstation

[1] Launch VMWare Workstation. You can find the shortcut to launch VMWare Workstation on your desktop or start menu.. Click "Create a New Virtual Machine", and a new window will pop up


 [2] Choose custom, Click Next.


[3] Guest Operating System Installation. - Here you are expected to provide a source for your Operating System installation, so this would be either a CD/DVD or ISO image.VMware does not recognise the developer preview of Windows 8 yet, however. To avoid possible problems with Setup, here we are going to choose the third option; "I will install the Operating System later." Click Next.
 

[4] Select a Guest Operating System.

                                           To automate certain things, VMware asks you to select which Guest Operating System you want to Install. Select "Microsoft Windows", and for the Version, select "Windows 7" if installing the x86 / 32-bit version of the Windows 8 Developer Preview, or "Windows 7 x64" if installing the x64 / 64-bit version of the Windows 8 Developer Preview.  Click Next.





[5] Name the Virtual Machine / Provide Location. - You can name your Virtual Machine anything you want, since the name only matters to VMware anyway, Click Next.





[6] Hardware - Processors. - If you have a single-core processor, you can leave the number of processors at 1, and number of cores at 1. If you have a dual-core processor, as we do on the test system, then set "Number of cores per processor," to 2Click Next.


 [7] Hardware - Memory. - The next thing you need to do is specify some hardware settings for your Virtual Machine. For memory, you will need to set at least 1GB (1024MB) for the x86 installation, or 2GB (2048MB) for the x64 installation. Click Next.




 [8] Leave the followings as it is






[9] Specify Disk Capacity. - VMware will suggest 60GB for Windows 7. You do not need that much just to test out the Developer copy of Windows 8. We choose 30GB, but 20GB will be just fine.

NOTE: This does not mean 20GB hard disk space will be used up immediately. This is the maximum amount of storage space the Guest OS is allowed to use on your hard drive. Even though you might set it to 20GB, only around 6-7GB will actually be used up upon installation. What you specify here is just the maximum space it can utilize.




[10] Hardware - CD/DVD/ISO 

If we were to boot your Virtual Machine now, it would have nothing to do, it would just stop at "Operating System Not Found," so we need to specify some media to boot from.

Under Connection, select "Use ISO image file". Click Browse, and navigate to the directory where you saved the ISO image containing the Windows 8 concumer Preview installation. Double click the ISO file when you find it to select it.

Now when you power on your Virtual Machine, that ISO image will be mounted to a virtual CD/DVD drive, and once the VM finds nothing on the virtual hard drive, it will proceed to boot from the virtual CD/DVD drive instead.



Click Close.


[11] Power on your Virtual Machine.

 You will now see your Virtual Machine, powered Off, in VMware Workstation. Click "Power on this Virtual Machine" and wait for the installation to commence.

Additional :

  • Double click inside Virtual Machine, tap CTRL + ALT + ENTER to go Full Screen mode.
  • CTRL + G allows you to input data directly to VM.
  • CTRL + ALT + ENTER also exits full screen.
  • To unlock your Keyboard / Mouse from VM, hold CTRL + ALT outside of Full Screen.
