Last night I have successfully run GNS3 on Windows 8 (64
bit). Using and configuring GNS3 on Windows 8 64bit is really simple. You need
to perform the following steps for installation:
Once you have done above steps, GNS3 is ready for
creating and simulating different labs. I have tested some simple Gns3 labs on
Windows 8 and GNS3 works fine for me. Please share your experience of using
GNS3 on Windows 8.

Download “GNS3-0.8.3.1-Standalone-64-bit” from
GNS3 official website www.gns3.net/download/ for your
