        I don't see any reason you need manual outbound NAT, better to use automatic, it won't NAT between internal subnets which is what is breaking your Windows share.

            I use manual NAT because i also route some IP blocks (external IP's)

              Ok, in that case just make sure you don't have outbound NAT rules matching traffic between internal networks.

                  Too many interfaces there in outbound NAT and not enough context to tell. Run a constant ping to the NAS, and check Diagnostics>States. Should just show two IPs there, not a third in the middle where it's translating it. If that's good, then your problem is almost certainly the NAS is setup to not serve Windows shares to off-subnet hosts. For instance Samba has a config option that lets you restrict what IP subnets it will serve, if it's a Windows host, the default Windows firewall settings commonly block all off-subnet file access.

                    This is what i get with ping :

                    icmp 10.0.0.31:768 <- 10.101.0.2 0:0
                    icmp 10.101.0.2:768 -> 10.0.0.31 0:0

                    10.0.0.31 = NAQ
                    10.101.0.2 = laptop using wireless

                      Then you aren't NATing, so that much is good. Problem is on the server then, what I noted in my last post.
