Since I discovered Dynamips and Pemu, I have been trying to figure out a way to test Pix configurations with a single PC running Windows XP. The real trick has always been communicating with the virtual Pix. With Linux, it was not a problem but Windows has always been another story until I recently figured out how to communicate with pemu using GNS3.

After completing this tutorial, you will be able to send traffic from the loopback interface on your PC through the virtual Pix and out the ethernet interface on your PC.
Now, before anyone starts sending me emails and spamming the comments, let me say that this is for testing purposes only. Do not be confused by the title of this blog post.

Excellent video - thanks a lot
I can get to the asdm of my pix but cant get internet traffic to go via my pix. When I take the DG off my LAC i cannot get any web pages. My DG is a local ip address of my adls router. I can ping my local pc (192.168.0.2) hosting the virtual pix (192.168.0.5) but i cant ping the adsl router from the pix? Do i need to any static routes to my client or PIX? Any idead
Many Thanks

Hello: I can use PEMU fine on GNS3 however, i notice the CPU utilization is around 50%. Any way to bring the utilization down when running PEMU?
