Hi,

 

We have updated to Windows 10 and now our Forticlient does not work. It say's that we are connected, but we cannot ping / reach any hosts.

 

log:

    I'm pretty sure you have the well known Win10 DNS routing problem.

    Try to set the metric on the LAN/WiFi adapter to be higher (15) than the one windows assigns to the VPN (11). Do the same on your IPv6 settings when it's not disabled.

     

    If you still have the problem, then add this 2 registry keys to disable the new "feature" in Windows 10. The DNS resolver sends DNS requests in parallel to all available network interfaces and uses the fastest reply to come.

     

    Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\DNSClient Value:  DisableSmartNameResolution Data:  1 Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters Value: DisableParallelAandAAAA Data:  1

    Hi,

     

    Thank you for answering!

     

    I tried it both, but unfortunately it does not work.

     

    I did some research and it seems that when I uninstall my Cisco VPN Client that Forticlient works. But if Cisco VPN Client is installed only the Cisco Client works. We need both installed. 

     

    Hope you have a solution for this!

    So we uninstalled everything again and installed only Forticlient, but it doesn't work anymore.

     

    It say's connected, but I cannot ping any host

     

    This is the log:

    Hopefully you can help us!
