        Well if you want full access then just any any, if not limit to what you want..  I would assume if wanted to bridge that you just want full access.  I would think the default allow rules should give you full access.

            Unbridged - what are you confused about?

            You have 2 segments - forget that the 2nd network is wireless..  Why do you think you need to bridge?

            You have 2 networks, what are lrules on these 2 interfaces?  Guess I could fire up a picture if need be..

              Now in windows in can see FreeBSD router, but not wireless devices.

              Here's my rules in Lan: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/195/lanxt.png/
              And Wifi: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/819/wifitl.png/

                What do you mean SEE – like in UPnP see, thats what pfsense shows up as if you enable UPnP (freebsd router)

                You have this

                pfsense
                lan 192.168.1.1/24
                wifi 192.168.2.1/24

                clients
                lan 192.168.1.14 lets say with /24 mask, gateway is pfsense 192.168.1.1
                wifi 192.168.2.52 lets say with /24 mask, gateway is pfsense 192.168.2.1

                Can you not ping from client 192.168.2.52 to 192.168.1.14??

                When you say SEE do you mean do you see UPnP/DLNA server on the other network, or do you mean like showing up in some windows browse list?  Explain your use of the term "SEE" -- in such setup has I have explained clients in both networks can "see" each other just fine via tcp/udp protocols that are routable across segments.  If your wanting something that has to be in the same broadcast domain to work, then no that will not work with 2 different network segments, ie 2 different broadcast domains.

                If you want all your devices to be in the same broadcast domain, ie all in 192.168.1.0/24 then your going to have to create a bridge and use the same network.

                You can not create a bridge and use 192.168.1.0/24 on one side and 192.168.2.0/24 on other clients and expect them to talk to each other.

                    You sure and the hell do not need browse list to access shares.

                    From your box on the wired 192.168.1.0/24 network access \192.168.2.x address of the box doing the sharing, or the other way as well from your wifi access \192.168.1.x the IP address of the box in your lan segment

                    That stupid windows browse list does not work across network segments without the use of a wins server.  But its completely utterly a waste of time effort traffic on your network..  What you don't know the name of your computer you want to access via dns name, or its IP?

                    If you want to be able to broadcast for netbios names or have all your boxes show up in the same windows browse list then your going to have to put them all in the same broadcast domain, ie same segment 192.168.1.0/24

                      Ok, how can i put wifi interface and lan in the same segment? if i bridge wifi and lan in cannot put wifi interface on 192.168.1.1 because is already occupied by lan one.

                      I know all pcs names and pc but the windows browse list its ,for me, a simply way sharing files to pcs.

                        So create a shortcut on your desktop for \nameofserver.domain.tld or \ipaddress - can't get any simpler than that.  Or just map a drive letter so shares on your computer look like the letter g:\ on your computer ;)

                        Bridge your interfaces and then give the bridge your IP of 192.168.1.1, the individual interfaces don't to have IPs in that sort of setup.

                        Or give them different IPs in the same segment, say 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 and create a bridge interface of 192.168.1.3

                        I personally would not use bridging and just map your shares to a drive letter of folder - much easier access that way ;)  And you could even turn off the browse feature all together because its just sending unwanted traffic/noise on your network ;)

                            you don't know how to map a drive letter in windows?  Really?

                            As to put a shortcut - just drag the icon to your desktop in your widow showing you your share.  See attached example

                            Do you know how to run a command and put in \IPaddress?  - see example after you hit the windowkey + R

                            As to map, tools - map and then fillout the form.

                            Let me know if you need more screenshots of more detailed help.

                                    dude what do you mean you created a Z drive?  You MAP a share from one computer to a drive letter on another computer.

                                    What is the IP of your box you want to share your public folder from?

                                    from your wireless network \thatipaddress

                                    Do you see the shares - there you go done!  Now you can either map that to a drive letter on your wireless machine, or create a shortcut to it on your desktop.  Or any time you need to access a share just run \thatipaddress

                                    So you have been using computers for what like 3 days?

                                      Man I have a pc connected with lan and is the only one wired connected to pfsense. All other cmpueters are connected via wifi. I want to share folders so if needed i can share files with other compueters. I mapped my public folder and i assigned the drive letter Z. Now, all other computers connected via wifi cannot see the folder. What i should do? The windows browse list was the simpliest way of sharing files for me.

                                        You mapped your public folder WHERE???

                                        From your wifi clients can you PING the ip address of your wired box??

                                        if so then \thatipaddress from your wifi boxes – do you see the shares of your wired box?  Do you get asked to auth?  What happens?  If you see the shares then map that to whatever drive letter you want on your wifi boxes, or drag it to your desktop on the wifi boxes so that they have a shortcut.

                                        Who uses these wifi boxes - are they new to computers as well?  How do you use a computer in this day and age an not understand how to access a share??  freaking blows my mind!

                                          I mapped my public folder on my wired connected pc and wifi boxes cannot see that folder! I use a computer since ages ago, but before i was connected on previous router via wifi and all other computers were and i was able to share files through the windows browse list that you hate so much. Mapping a folder is new to me because i did never use that method before. If it blows your mind i can't doing anything.
                                          I also cannot ping wifi boxes from my pc:
                                          PING 192.168.2.2 (192.168.2.2) from 192.168.1.1: 56 data bytes

                                          –- 192.168.2.2 ping statistics ---
                                          3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss

                                            "I mapped my public folder on my wired connected pc"

                                            Why and the F would you do that???  Your just accessing yourself??

                                            So your box is 192.168.1.1 ???  What is the IP address of the pfsense lan IP?

                                            what OS are you using that shows ping command like that, from IP?

                                            And do you have a firewall running on the wifi box?  Windows by default will block icmp (ping)  So have you allowed the firewall or disable it so that you could test connectivity.

                                            You want your browse list back - then go back to that.. I already told you how to do it!!  Put your computers on the same network!  Bridge the physical interfaces on your pfsense = there you go everyone on the same broadcast domain and you can use your browse list.

                                            I really think you would be better off just buying a $50 wireless router and using that as your gateway.. Then there is no thought or setup..  You would have a wired port to plug your computer into, and a bridged wireless network where everyone gets IP from the routers dhcp server.
