Hi, Help me to resolve the problem described below, please. I' ve installed Fortigate 60B and now need to provide access to our guests. Guests must be isolated from office infrastructure. For this configuration I' ve set up DMZ interface with DHCP server. Client connected to DMZ port gets DHCP configuration but can' t go out to the Internet. Internal interface: Addressing mode: manual (10.0.0.250/24) DMZ interface config: Addressing mode: manual (192.168.16.1/24) DHCP server config (for DMZ interface): Type: regular IP: 192.168.16.100-199 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Def Gateway: 192.168.16.1 DNS: 192.168.16.1 Policy: DMZ(all) --> WAN1(all) = accept

    I know. If you configure the interface address with a /32 mask then it will not care for the other addresses in the 192.168.16.x range. Compare this to how you' ve configured the other interfaces, i.e. internal.
