Development of a Network Lab Virtualization

Yesterday, we tried to do troubleshooting on the installation of dynamips and dynagen. Apparently, opening the .exe file gave an error. Mr Wagio then asked us to try copying the packet.dll and winpcap.dll files and paste them into the system32 folder. However, it did not work.

I took a look at the readme file and it said to paste the files into the system folder. That too, didn’t work. We thought it was due to the computer’s problem. Mr Wagio then asked us to download the various previous versions of winpcap installers on the website.

In total, I downloaded versions:

3.1-WinPcap
3.2.1-WinPcap
3.1.3-WinPcap
3.1.4-WinPcap
4.0-WinPcap
4.0.1-WinPcap
4.0.2-WinPcap

After uninstalling all the programs, and reinstalling in the order of WinPcap first, followed by the dynagen and dynamips package; and copying and pasting the packet.dll and winpcap.dll files to system32 and system folders, the program still couldn’t work and had the same error.

Today, we decided to install in Aaron’s laptop. And true enough, the first installation was sucessful without errors. We also started to read up on the configuration notes. We learned of things such as autostart. Also learned of how to set the default router model accordingly.
