      OK, I'll check everything tomorrow.  Thank you.  Yes, I know Linux has firewalls …. but unlike windoze it doesn't install one without you asking for it.  :)

        Well that would depend on the distro ;)  But I hear ya…

        My guess would be your host allow, if that has your network in.  Then do a simple sniff on pfsense.  Do you see your traffic going to your samba host, do you see a reply?  This can even show if you get an answer to why your denied access, etc.

        Do packet capture on your lan interface.. Use the IP address of your samba box as filter.. Then try and connect from your wifi network.. Do you see traffic?  Do you see syn,ack back?  Load it up in wireshark and see what is going on.  If you don't see traffic going there, then sniff on your wifi interface do you see the client sending the traffic.

        If you see the syn but not the syn,ack back when sniffing on the lan.. Then its your samba box or your sending to the wrong mac, etc..

          It's been a while, I know.  Yes, I can connect directly by IP address but I can't see the Samba share.  I'll come back with some more thoughts about my requirements in a few days ..
