Running Win7 64 Ultimate.

Ran “Network device list.cmd” as admin;

Network adapters on this machine:

NIO_gen_eth:\Device\NPF_{9C87C7BE-EEAC-4296-BFBA-7DE6ABB5657F}
Name : Local Area Connection
Desciption: Realtek RTL8168C”

NIO_gen_eth:\Device\NPF_{C58E415A-E7FC-4D11-88C1-DB3384A559AE}
Name : Local Area Connection 2
Desciption: MS LoopBack Driver

NIO_gen_eth:\Device\NPF_{ED188927-D178-462E-A8BA-7B6AE9E4CA60}
Name : Bluetooth Network Connection
Desciption: Microsoft
Use as follows:
F0/0 = NIO_gen_eth:\Device\NPF_{…}

Ran GNS3 as admin
Pull Cloud into project
Open Cloud Configure
click Cx under cloud
I get no adapters, loopback or nic.

I have done everything that was said above but it still does not work… Any idea?

Mimi,
I was having the same issues and this is what I did:
Go to line vty in global config and type in privilege level 15 and enter. Save your config and disable your antivirus firewall. Try to connect to sdm again.

I have successfully installed the loopback properly, it’s also working fine, but it’s limited to only it’s broadcast domain.

E.g

I am doing EIGRP lab.
I have 3 routers, R1, R2, R3.
I have connected the LOOPBACK (C1) to a SW1 connected to R2. C1 can ping R2( only Default Gateway Address), R2 has other subnets as well, but i am unable to ping it. Same way I can not ping any other routers and any other subnet in the whole network. Not Even the C1 can be ping from R1, & R3. Only R2 can ping C1, which is a default Gateway of my C1 (LOOPBACK).

Can any1 figure out, how to resolve that?
Note: All routers can ping each other, eigrp is successfully running everywhere.

Regards

SAMIULLAH
