Do you have your internal DNS servers set in the SSL VPN config? VPN -> SSL, select the Config tab, at the bottom you will see Advanced (DNS and WINS Servers)

You have to edit the FortiSSLVPN network adapter and add the DNS domain to the advanced section of TCP/IP. This needs to be done on each install. This cannot be pushed with the SSL VPN IP information.

We have seen this on some installs and some work fine without it.... one of the things on my list to look into as to why some installs require it. I always assumed it was something with the configuration/security of the internal DNZ server. 1) Anyone have any insight on this? or 2) Anyone know of a way to automate adding the DNZ suffix into the FortiSSL adapter?

Go to the Properties of that connection and then further go to TCP/IP Properties. Click on Advanced and make sure that " Use default gateway on remote network" is unchecked. Click on OK and OK again and close the connection properties. Now, connect to the tunnel again and the problem should be resolved.

 

This may help you,
