Nice video but i had trouble setting it up. I run win 7 and when i want to use ICS its gives my loopback a ip of 192.168.137.1 which its not as the same of my network 192.168.0.0. The other way i've managed do to this lab is using my real physical nic instead of the loopback and used VMnet1 with the host only option. Rest of the config is the same.

Dear Imran Assalam-o-alaikum, I tried to remake this lab of your's but couldn't get it going. I wanted to see the NAT translation in action. But win7 got it running automatically. My question is that..Can we change the IP add of the Virtual adapters so that we can use em in Gns accordingly ? After i change IPs on Vm8 and when i go to virtual machine it still has its auto ip address..how to change them..?

Aur han..Happy Eid Mubarak to u too..

Thanks and Regards,

Suleman

@sulemantajik

No need to change the ip address please fellow the steps

1. Click on start > all programmers>VMware>Virtual Network Editor>

2. Click on VMnet8 or any one which have connected in GNS3

3. At the bottom you will see an option for “Use local DHCP service to distribute IP address toVMs” just un-check

4. Press OK

just open vm and assign the desire ip address it will work fine

if not contact me at skype "imeezmob"

Actually wireless (WLAN)is not perfect way to do this lab, there is some problems occurs during configuration with wireless. LAN works perfectly, there is a tip for VMware turn off DHCP server which is built-in in VMware that provide more control and surety for your lab.

in CME lab you can do some thing amazing if you have 2 or more wirless PC or Laptop, just config the CME router and install Cisco Communicator with the same class of network of your physical rotuer

@Videogameman156

Thanks

[Videogameman156]

@imeezz i didnt mess with the internet settings at all, i was just enjoying my vm (Virtual Machine) And randomly the internet stopped working. I looked this up and people said the MAC Address changed. Is that right? I think it stopped on all of my VM's. I'll give you more info if you need.3

Thanks

[Videogameman156]

@imeezz nvm, it randomly starting working haha

[dodo3tt]

why ddn't you bridge the loopback with the physical nic? Might be easier i think

[imeezz]

@dodo3tt

hi dodo!!!

you are right that is possible and easier.

but the viewer of this video learn how to create a microsoft loopback

there is another easist way just attach physical NIC and give any of un-used ip address from the range of your physical NIC class and bring the interface up. route the all trafic for nating to that interface

that will work perfectly

Thanks for your comments

[pazz55]

Excellent walk-through, thanks.

Hit one or two speedbumps along the way but I got there in the end!
