FortiClient and VMware

Hi. I' m trying to get the networking of a Virtual Machine (VMware 5.5) running (Mode Bridged Networking). No way with activated Firewall (FortiClient). I' ve set up the firewall with the IP of the VM as trusted, but it doesn' t work. I can do pings from the VM to the network, but no other service (DNS etc.). I' ve also tried an advanced rule with no success. Can anybody please help ???

The advanced rules in FortiClient 2.0 does not work well for passing bridged traffic. The only solution is to use FortiClient 3.0. It will be released very soon. You can ask for the controled release (CR) from support now.
