      Got this error:

      disk or network error (Error 3043)

      I just installed pfsense in my network last 2 months ago and everything works fine and okey. And until yesterday when i install the shortcut icon of my database file.  When I open my database shortcut icon, it displays an error message says "disk or network error (Error 3043)".

      Question:
      Is it possible that the pfsense firewall is blocking the connection from the database to clients workstation?

      BTW, here's the setup of my network:

      Thanks….........

        Which of the 2 client workstations on your diagram are you referring to?

        If the 192.168.2.x clients then yes - pfSense sits between them and the database server.  If the 192.168.0.x clients then no.

            Examine the firewall settings on the 192.168.2.1 interface (LAN?) of pfSense - it may be that you have a rule blocking it.  It could also be that your shortcut relies on NetBIOS, which is broadcast based and hence won't work with a routed network without a little help.  Without knowing more, it's all guesswork though ;)

              I already check the Firewall Rules and i added the ip address of the database server which is 192.168.0.253.  I put 2 rules:
                    1. Source = any and destination = 192.168.0.253
                    2. Source = 192.168.0.253 and destination = any

              I tried running the shortcut, still it has the same error message.

              What are other possible problems why i have this error message?

              How can i resolve this issue?

              Thanks…...

                I've already mentioned other possible problems - search my previous reply for NetBIOS ;)

                Did you put rule (1) on the 192.168.2.x network interface?  Is it before any other rules?
