Greetings ALL:
to prepare for my upcoming exams I have downloaded GN3 to practice commands and situations (labs) in. After installing, configuring, loading the ios into labs, and then setting the idle pc mem values everything seems to work ok. However when I right click on a router and then click on console, the telnet window comes up and says that I am connected to (routername) via console port (console port number) and the ios never loads. I thought it was an software issue with my install so I uninstalled/reinstalled. Same issue. I have also tried this on a server 2003 machine and had the same issue so basically what I have come down to is that this is an ios issue or the gns3 software itself. I have checked the documentation and followed step by step videos on youtube. My question now is, how could I rule out an ios issue? Is there a way to check the bin file for problems?
I was thinking about copying a file from my recently arrived 2610 (non xm

). If I was going to do that I would need a t.f.t.p server app on my laptop to capture the file (correct??). does anyone know of a good t.f.t.p app (good=free) that I could use to do this?
