Windows file share in DMZ
-
@KOM, the windows firewall is turned off… the only FW is pfSense and that has IP* open to and from the LAN
@marjohn56, they are on different subnets and all other services work to and from them but the file share.
-
What is the IP and mask of the offending device and the same info from the machine trying to connect to it?
-
Also forgot to ask, the file server is running what Windows OS, and the same question for the client machine?
Just trying to build a full picture.
-
Look at your firewall log and see what is being explicitly blocked and work backwards from there.

@marjohn56
LAN side IP 192.168.1.90 (Win 10 Pro)
DMZ side IP 192.168.18.203 (Win 2012 R2)@KOM
That is just it, nothing is being blocked. For example, the file share on the NAS (192.168.18.202) can be connected to from Win 10 (192.168.1.90). -
And you can RDP to the server from the client?
Can you try creating a share on the client, then connect to it from the server, then try the server from the client again if that works.

I am able to RDP to the Windows 2012R2 machine from the Windows 10 machine and the other way around as well….
Can not connect to shares in either direction. -
I have had this issue in the past, drives you nuts.
Here's a thread with lots of users suffering from the same issue and many different 'fixes'.

@marjohn56 sorry to say, but I tried all that was talked about it the link you sent, although I don't think it is applicable to my topology…. thanks for trying to help.
I am still looking for a solution. -
I doubt it's anything to do with the network.

I am still looking for a solution.Can you do a little schematic of the Network.

Hope this helps….
192.168.18.201 and 192.168.18.203 can see each other's sharesFrom 192.168.1.90 I can see the shares on 192.168.18.201
From 192.168.1.90 I can RDP to 192.168.18.203 but the problem is connecting or seeing any shares (\192.168.18.203)

Then it's not the router but something on your 192.168.18.203
