<![CDATA[How to make Wireless-LAN computers and LAN computers see each other?]]>I have the following configuration :

1 LAN (192.168.1.x [LAN])
2 WAN networks (192.168.2.x [WAN] & 192.168.3.x [OPT1])

1 Wireless Network (192,168.4.x)

pfsense does Load balancing and failsafe between WAN & OPT1.
And LAN is connected with pfsense.

I have connected my netgear wireless router to the LAN. By this I get load balanced, failsafe internet connection of WAN & OPT1 into my wireless network.

Now my question is :

My Windows machines on wireless LAN can't access other Windows machines or printers on my pfsense LAN. (Using windows file/printer sharing)

How do I access the LAN computers from wireless LAN computers?

I did remove the firewall on my netgear router.

I must be missing some thing pretty obvious here.
I appreciate any help/suggestion.

Apparently I didn't know that all windows computers have to be on the same subnet to see each other's resources through "my network places".

I changed my wireless network IP addresses to be in the space of my LAN IP addresses.

Now every things works fine.

Thanks.

Are you trying to access other windows-computers via the "my network places"?
This wont work since you're routing from one subnet into another.

You have to access them directly via the IP.
