Cannot telnet into router in GNS3 via loopback connection
(Website location is http://www.blindhog.net/cisco-dynamips-with-microsoft-loopback-interface-video-tutorial/comment-page-2/#comment-40320)Followed the directions and can ping the loopback of 10.100.100.1 while I have GNS3 running with the cloud and router. (I am running Win7(x64)with 16G of RAM).
The problem I am having is whenever I tried to use putty to telnet to the router, a command window opens briefly and quickly shuts down.
I have passwords set on the vty 0 4 lines, a secret password set and an enable passowrd set.
Why can't I access the router from my putty session?
p.s. I am also running VMWare Workstation 8.x for my overall virtulization environment.

would seem like port 23 is either not open or closed, blocked.

Well how can you tell? I use putty to telnet to my Cisco 1841 that I have as well as the 2950 switch.
I would take the mystery out of the equation and just enable windows telnet session and try it from a command prompt. At least that way if you having a local application error, you'll find out sooner rather than later.
What operating system are you running ?

My original post stated that I am running Win7 x64 and that hasn't changed. I installed the telnet client for Win7 and still can't connect. It simply states...
"could not open connection to the host, on port 23: connect failed".
It certainly appears that the normal telnet port is closed or blocked but I don't know why.
This is a very simple environment to replicate sine all of the pieces are free (except the Cisco router IOS files), so if anyone can recreate the lab and tell me what happens, perhaps the answer will unfold.

I must apologize because going back over the lab scenario, I actuall skipped a lot of stuff and it never really got me to integrate into GNS3. It was all about using dynamips.
ArneLovius: you suggestion was neat, simple and IT WORKS. I just turned on my wireless NIC on my laptop and assigned it to the cloud in GNS3. (I normally don't use the wireless NIC when I am plugged into my LAN. I am running a Router on a Stick LAN using a 2950 Catalyst switch and an 1831 router with 2 vlans. I am on VLAN 2 which is subnet 192.168.2.0. My wireless completely bypasses the ROAS environment and goes directly to my LinkSYS E3000 Gateway.)
This is much simpler and easy as 1, 2, 3. Thanks for keeping it simple.
