Cloud GNS3

[you57]

Hello,
I would like to communicate two remote sites through the internet with gns3. I have a virtual machine which has three network cards VMnet0 has VMnet2, the VMnet2 is NAT the other two are Host-only. the problem is that VMnet2 which happens to ping the internet the other two not because they are Host-only. Does it have a minus to make these two sites communicate through the cloud? how to do it ?

R2#ping google.com

The one working NATed, the one not working Host Only (that need to NAT to go out). -192.168.221.1

Any IP from private range must be NAT'ed before getting out on Internet. ISP must block such IP ranges (and do block) from getting into the Internet routing tables.

Enable NAT on your VMnet NIC although I am not sure if u can,  read VMware Doc for NAT and NICs. I think Host-only NIC specs may not give you option to do NAT as comparing to NAT or Bridge NICs.
