      I have no domain. I have never bought one

      You do not need to buy anything to use a domain. I use local.lan as my domain on my network. the top level domain (.lan) is not used on the internet. There can not be any domains.LAN on the public internet.

      Exact.
      I showed you my settings.
      I use a "real" domain name, what can be done, but there are conditions.

      @johnpoz said in SG-1100 does not connect network drives in windows 10:

      The use of .local is bad idea

      You're right. I'll edit.

      @antonio-briguglio said in SG-1100 does not connect network drives in windows 10:

      Fritz.box is the domain of the router that acts as a NAS and mediaserver.

      Then name pfSense like (in General settings ):
      Host : pfSense
      Domain : your-what-ever.lan

      And make the overide in the resolver settings look like :
      Host : nas
      Domain : your-what-ever.lan
      IP : 192.168.x.x.x. = the IP of your USB NAS the IP of your fritz box LAN's address.

      @antonio-briguglio said in SG-1100 does not connect network drives in windows 10:

      I only see the NAS provided and not the media server.

      That part of your 'broken' setup.
      You have a router with an USB port. You thought it might be useful to hook up an USB drive to that port. Great, but there is a big 'but' ......
      You have another router after the first router with your local LAN.
      Routers are not switches ! You can't use all types of ports available everywhere and hope that all devices can "see" each other.
      An example that makes this very clear : When you open Windows 10 Explorer, you can only "see" devices in your local LAN network = 192.168.1.1/24
      You will not be able to see devices that are on another network, like 192.168.2.1/24. Not your fault. It's just not possible. things are like this since Windows and MacOS, and Linux, etc are defined) That's why I proposed you to put your Wifi, NAS etc etc etc etc on your pfSense LAN and use your Fritz box just for the access to the Internet - and nothing else.
      As said before : hook up all devices to your LAN, the LAN of pfSense, and you'll be fine / far better.

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        @stephenw10 so what should i do?

        What I would do here is swap out the Fritzbox for a separate DSL modem then move the Fritbox behind the SG-1100 and configure it as a wifi access point and server only. Disable DHCP on it.
        So something like:

        [Clients] --wifi-- [Fritzbox]===[SG-1100]===[DSL modem]-----

        Or lose the Fritzbox entirely and use a real Access Point and a real NAS device.

        But I don't know if any of those options are open to you.

        To access the media server in the Frirzbox from the pfSense LAN requires the use of the ugmp proxy or Pimd both of which are complex to setup correctly even for experienced pfSense users.

          @gertjan To make the media server work you need to activate UPnP e NAT-PMP but I do not know how I can do it

            @stephenw10 We must find a way to solve this problem, we do not complicate our lives, there will be an easier procedure


            As a media server, the FRITZ! Box can transmit both pictures, music and videos as well as web radio stations and podcasts to media players or players in the local network (multimedia streaming). In this way, you can access a central media library from all computers and many other devices in the FRITZ! Box local network (for example, television, smartphone, wireless audio system).

                @antonio-briguglio The bottom line is you are trying to use a service (DLNA) that is not designed to work across a router (The SG-1100) across a router.

                  Ok half-solved, now the fritz nas works but the media but the media server doesn't.
                  Thanks everyone for the support :-))
