We just purchased a Fortigate FG-40F. I have done the initial set up and only have a single test server with 3 HyperV instances and one workstation connected. Everyhting is getting a DHCP address from the firewall and can communicate with the internet gateway. However, I can't get anything on the LAN to communicate with each other. None of the HyperV instances see each other or can ping each other, and I need all LAN workstations to be able to communicate. What setting do I need to change for this?
Thank you.

Hi @Bilious72,
Are those HyperV instances in the same or different network? Is there a switch in between?
If you can't ping, please make sure Windows firewall is not blocking ping.

I would not recommend that. You can turn it on and create a rule to allow ping.

Thank you for the reply. They are all on the same network. The native instance is 192.168.1.111
and I have a HyperV instance on .112 .113 and .114.
If I turn off the Windows firewall, everything can communicate perfectly. Is it ok to leave that turned off and rely on the Fortigate for all firewall functionality?

Great. Thank you for the help.
