This article presents the configuration of development environments intended for the analysis of computer networks, ranging from the configuration of virtual machines to the analysis of packet traffic on the network using the Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT). This article investigates the application of the ChatGPT tool, a variant based on the GPT-3.5 architecture developed by OpenAI, which employs a natural language model. The tool is employed as a facilitator in the configuration of network simulation scenarios. The study shows ChatGPT as an intelligent automatic assistant, being a great ally mainly in studies, and as a configuration assistant in the area of Computer Networks. In addition, it is also useful for beginners in this field, as it thoroughly describes the procedures needed to set up a development and network analysis environment. The work also presents the existing limitations inherent to this technology, such as the need for internet access and the possibility of inaccurate or incomplete answers. Making it clear that the use of artificial intelligence is a great ally, but until the present study there is no remote chance of replacing human expertise.
