Fortinet port1 not working

[7Blue]

configuration:

- ISP router - IP: 192.168.2.1
- laptop using Wi-Fi: wlo1 - link encap:Ethernet - inet addr:192.168.2.24 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Vmware Workstation - Bridged - connected directly to the physical network - IP: 192.168.2.190

- every time when I start EVE-NG I get this error:
~~~
getting the error:
The virtual machine's operating system has attempted to enable promiscuous mode on adapter 'Ethernet0'.
This is not allowed for security reasons.
Please go to the Web page "http://vmware.com/info?id=161" for help enabling promiscuous mode in the virtual machine.

- downloaded from Fortinet support webpage 6.0.6 - kvm
- installed the proper way - no issues - the Fortigate starts, I get the prompt, everything's fine at this step.
- setting the port1 interface to allowaccess http, https, ssh, telnet, ping
- no matter what the static IP I assign to port1, I'm not able to get the GUI of fortigate, using any browser in Ubuntu
Should I try to add a Linux VM inside EVE and to try to access the management from there ?

Any help regarding this will be really appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance.

It was because of the error described.
Following the steps from that Vmware website did the trick.
Now everything's OK.
