  1. Login with mac

    I have problems with trying to log into packet tracer on my MacBook 2012. When I click log in nothing shows up. I’ve already used my 3 guest saved so I desperately need to get in.

  3. Make User Login to PT 7 (and 6.3) working!!!

    By clicking User Login NOTHING happens (I guess thousands of Instructors have the same problem...), while by clicking Guest Login,
    the default browser (Chrome 51.0.2704.106 m) starts on the URL: https://www.netacad.com/ptguestlogin/ that then becomes: https://www.netacad.com/campaign/ptdt-2,
    and then the 15" count-down of Guest starts, allowing the user to enter PT, upon a Guest confirmation.

    My PC is a Win 10 Home, with Java 1.8.0_65 and last Flash Win 22.0.0.192.

    To Cisco experts and developers: HELP - HHEELLPP -- HHHEEELLLPPP !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi,

    Is there any reason why the SDM Prefer command is not available in the L2 switches used in Packet Tracer?

  5. Get PT more user fiendly

    Me and my students very often use PT7, and propose the following:

    1. Eliminate the User Profile window on startup (see attach); it shows
      wrong information (Guest, while I'm logged in with my Netacad profile)
      and its only purpose seems... to be closed

    2. Speed up the opening of the .pkt or .pka files: the initial logo mask is
      there for at least 20-30" even in very recent and powerful PCs, with SSD...

    3. When opening .pka files, please put the instructions window in foreground.
      It's not user friendly to always hide it under the main Working area window.

    Thank you for your suggestions. We talked to the Packet Tracer team and they have provided the following:

    1. User Profile window only shows up when you load an activity that requires it. The purpose is for the student to enter a name and email (Not their netacad login) that will let the instructor identify who worked on the activity. If the student changes this profile, it will reset the activity, thereby preventing cheating. Otherwise students will be able to share completed activities with one another. Although we ask the user to login to their netacad account, we do not use this information as a means to populate the file because some classrooms may use one installation with a single login.

    2. The slow load times of PKT and PKAs require the user to send us their file. In general, 7.1 will load faster than 7.0. However, in our own…

  6. A problem with packet tracer

    Hi all,
    I am having trouble with Packet tracer, the simulation that encompass a solar PV, a meter, a battery and 5 bulbs. I have set up the network as required, but when I click to use the IoT cable, it had two small circles at the beginning and end, and none of the bulbs light (become green). I an not sure of the two problems are related. Please assist.

  9. Issue: Packet Tracer 7 not connecting anonymously

    I have some freshmen trying to use PT for an exploratory class. Most of them can launch PT 7.0 but a couple of the PC's are requesting a Netacad login. Any thoughts on how I can fix this?

    Sorry you have had trouble accessing the Packet Tracer download. I have referred this ticket to the support desk. They should be able to assist you and give you a download of PT.

  11. Scaling Networks PT activity 9.5.2.6

    This lab was not created correctly. I haven't checked 5.03 version, but in version 5 the router-id was not added under the eigrp process, therefore the lab would "check" OK, but the testing did not work. The eigrp router-id needs to be added on all three routers

  12. RSE Module 8 - Skills Integration Challenge - Better instructions

    Skills Integration Challenge - 8.4.1.2 Packet Tracer
    It is better to have an exact instructions about PCs's IP configuration because students must guessing the answer (for IPv4 - are the last usable addresses; for IPv6 - second ones).

  13. RSE - Module 9 PT mistake

    There is a mistake in RSE - Chapter 9: Access Control Lists 9.3.2.11 Packet Tracer.
    1. The default gateways of the all switches SWA, SWB and SW3 are wrong. The mistake is only at the first octet - should be 10 instead of 64.
    2. Also in the instructions (Addressing Table) is missing information about SWA and SWB, only for SWC.
