      Look at your firewall log and see what is being explicitly blocked and work backwards from there.

        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.

                    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 shares

                      From 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
