I' m having problems accessing my internal network through my Forticlient VPN. I configured my Forticlient software to connect to my Fortigate 100A using the procedure outlined in the Forticlient Host Security User Guide. According to the Forticlient software and my Fortigate 100A monitoring screen, I have established a IPSEC VPN tunnel. The problem is I' m unable to ping, or see any clients on my internal network. Any ideas would be much appreciated!!!!

    Did you created a FW policy for that VPN tunnel? And click the inbound & outbound box, and also the NAT option?

    Whether NAT must be on or not is depending on whether or not you supply an IP address in the FortiClient.

    I corrected this problem by changing the Forticlient IP subnet so it did not match my internal network IP subnet. My internal network IP subnet is 192.168.1.0, and I changed the Forticlient to 192.168.4.0. Everything works great!!!
