      Can you ping 192.168.2.1 from your client?

      Your not using some vpn on this client are you.

      As to seeing it - no discovery is NOT GOING TO WORK.. you would directly connect to the IP..

      192.168.1.1 Sg-1100

      That is the WAN IP of pfsense? Or the lan? your client is the .14

      Please post a screen shot of your pfsense interfaces, gateways, etc..

      example here is mine.

      I have my public IP obfuscated - because mine are public. Your pfsense wan should be on your fritzbox 192.168.2 network..

          What is your WAN IP of pfsense???

          See mine above is 64.53.x.x (public) yours should be 192.168.2.x something.. If your wan of pfsense is connected to your fritzbox (and it is not in bridge mode)

                    I have some knowledge of this install.

                    Thje SG-1100 is installed behind the Fritzbox on it's LAN. The Fritzbox is also a DSL modem so reorganizing it is not immediately easy. It also has wifi so clients can connect to it directly bypassing the SG-1100 completely if they do not disable it.

                    The SG-1100 is using 192.168.1.0/24 on it's LAN and is connected to the Fritzbox LAN subnet via it's WAN, 192.168.2.0/24.

                    I suspect whatever is trying to 'see' the network drive here is trying to discover it in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet.

                    Can we see a screenshot of you trying to connect?

                          Ok.

                          You can't access it using that FQDN because it's not globally accessible. It can only be resolved when you are using the Fritzbox for DNS.

                          Do this. Add a host override to pfSense to allow it to resolve:

                          In Services > DNS resolver:

                                Yes. Because it can only resolve fritz.nas using the Fritzbox DNS server.

                                Add the host override so pfSense can also resolve that.

                                    Add the host override as I said here: https://forum.netgate.com/post/959687

                                        In System > DNS Resolver.

                                        Click +Add to add a new Host Override.

                                            just go to the IP 192.168.2.1

                                            Here for example is my nas.. via IP

                                            hit the windowkey + R to get the run box put in \192.168.2.1

                                            nas.png

                                            To validate your host override is working ping the name from cmd line..

                                            example

                                            example.png

                                            Mine wouldn't ping because I have nothing on my network 192.168.2.1 - but you see how it comes back resolved the name shows the IP.. when I try and ping.
