How do I connect to a private network from ethereum wallet?

How do I connect to a private network from ethereum wallet? I was able to create a private network from geth command line using custom genesis file but now wanted my ethereum wallet to point to custom genesis file of the private network.Currently I am able to point my etherem wallet to either the mainnet or testnet but not private network.

I did find the following instructions on github mist browser Readme file but haven't been able to make much progress

To run a privatenet you need to have geth installed separately and run it with the ipcpath flag: $ geth --networkid 1234 --ipcpath /Users/you/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc --datadir ...

回答1:

Ensure your Ethereum Wallet is closing.
On your terminal.

$ geth --networkid "1234" --datadir "/some/other/path" --ipcpath "/Users/<username>/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc" console
Reopen your Ethereum Wallet.

See: Ethereum Wallet – Developer Preview

If your want to reconnect to mainnet or testnet. Just type this "$ geth console" in your terminal.

回答2:

You need to download geth and Ethereum mist wallet , and install them.

Then go to the folder where you want to start the blockchain and follow these steps:

Start command prompt here
- $ mkdir chaindata
- $ geth --datadir=./chaindata init genesis.json
- $ geth --datadir=./chaindata --fast --cache=1024
Start another command prompt here
- $ geth attach
Start Ethereum Wallet. Make sure it opens in private network
for Mining
- $ miner.start(3);
- $ miner.stop();

You can get a video tutorial for the same here.

Hope it helps you!
