The winpcap service (NPF service) cannot find your network adapter. Try the following by starting cmd.exe as an administrator:

network_device_list

Please post the output of network-device-list.cmd.

This isn't right. What is your Windows version? Do you have any security suite software or similar running?

Hi!
The OS is Windows 10, and GNS3 is 2.9.1.
I have installed both Win10Pcap and NPcap.
Because the Win10Pcap isn't identified by GNS3.
I don't know other security suit software running.
Thanks!

Hey Robert,

I had exactly the same problem.
To solve it:

  1. Uninstall Win10Pcap and GNS3.
  2. Install Winpcap 4.1.3 (be sure that there were no errors with C:\Windows\System32\drivers\npf.sys during installation).
  3. Install GNS3 (without Win10Pcap) and configure VMware vmnets interfaces

Let me know if it helps,
-Chris

@merwina @Robert-xiaoqiang we recommend to only install Winpcap 4.1.3 only at the moment. Please let us know if this work after you install winpcap and a reboot.

Thanks!
@grossmj @merwina
I solved the problem by using GNS VM.
Connecting cloud device with VMware network adapter works in my case.
I gave up connecting it with loopback.
