Issue
When I start VPSC, in GNS3 I get the following,
- When I try and click test under Dynamips I get Failed to start dynamips
- When I try and drag a router over to the main screen I get Cant start Dynamips on port 7200
Resolution
Copy the file cygwin1.dll from your VPCS folder into your dynamip folder.
