How to RDP to a computer that is connected to 2nd DHCP in 2nd network
-
If you can RDP to the IP then it suggests that your WiFi router is only routing and not doing any NAT. You need to change your port forward and rules to reflect the IP accessible from the 192.168.5.0/24 LAN - 192.168.1.100.

OK, lets forget about RDP throught WiFI router with enabled DHCP.
Simply I added port forwarding with Firewall rules to one of my desktops(yes I have enabled RDP in Windows XP prof. adding one user to RDP list) Now I can RDP from inside LAN but from WAN no. This was pretty easy on any devices like linskys, etc…. Why the simple think does not want to work with such amazing soft firewall like PFSENSE? I want to believe that I made some "user errors" not the soft. I will be fallowing another guide example from net.
I have to add I just simply copied rules from ENDIAN firewall that so far work pretty nice. I don't want to believe that I have to reboot PFSENSE in order to get it works after made any changes to rules. What I do wrong that simple RDP is not working?

Does the pfSense host know how to route to the 192.168.1.0/24 network? If not, how do you expect it to know how to forward packets…
-
Should it looks like this:
 -
If 192.168.5.1 is the gateway to the 192.168.1.0/24 network then yes. However you've previously posted that 192.168.5.119 is the gateway.

I am sorry - my bed. 192.168.1.119 is IP address of WiFI Router
WAN –--- 192.168.5.1 PFSENSE ----192.168.1.119 Wifi Router (DHCP) Gateway 192.168.1.1 ------- WINSERVER 192.168.1.110 (Static IP)
Should't I be able to ping 192.168.1.1 from network 192.168.5.0 ? after setting static route to 192.168.1.0/24 ?

What IP addresses does the pfSense host have? What IP addresses does the WiFi router have? Please complete the following with the real IP addresses (if IP A is your real WAN IP then replace it with WAN):
WAN –-- IP A (pfSense) IP B ----- IP C (WiFi) IP D --- WinServer (192.168.1.110)
-
WAN –-- 24.13.54.21 (pfSense) 192.168.5.1 ----- 192.168.5.119 (WiFi) 192.168.1.1 --- WinServer (192.168.1.110)
PFSENSE has GW 192.168.5.1 and it's DHCP 192.168.5.100-192.168.5.120
WiFI ROuter has GW 192.168.1.1 and its DHCP 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.120
WiFi is simply connected to 192.168.5.0 network

Hopefully you're confused about those gateway addresses. The gateway address is the address of the device that connects to other networks.
For the pfSense host the gateway (default route) should be being set by DHCP. There should be a static route for 192.168.1.0/24 with a gateway of 192.168.5.119.
For the WiFi host the gateway should be 192.168.5.1.

OK so that was user error I mean my …. :-\
I have been trying to experiment with static routes and after I added 192.168.5.1 to 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.5.1 to 192.168.5.119
my whole network went down and DHCP on WiFi router has been changed from 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.120 to 192.168.2.100-192.168.2.120I am trying to figure it out why that happend.
Thank You for Your help. Every message make me closer to what I messed up.
