        First you have to configure your OPT interface correctly.
        Connect the LAN interface of the linksys AP to your pfSense.

        We do what we must, because we can.

                With that setup i don't want user connected to WIFI on OPT1 to have access to the rest of the network

                I have tested some things and it dose not look like i can connect to share drives.

                I was wondering if their is other way to validate my installation

                  What rest of the network?
                  On the LAN-interface? on the OPT-interface?
                  Without you giving a description of what is where (which server? where is it? what IP's where?) i cannot help you.

                  How do you connect to shares? What shares? windows, smb? via "My Network Places"?
                  Such a test is unrealiable and means notting because the "My Network Places" works only with UDP broadcasts which connot go over a router.
                  Someone could still type \IP and connect.

                    Wow i never thought my question was so complicated  ;)

                    I have 3 network card in my Pfsense box
                    1 WAN
                    1 LAN
                    1 OPT1 (WIFI)

                    My Windows server is connected on the LAN true 2 24 ports HP switch

                    I have a Linksys WIFI rooter connected to OPT1

                    I don't want the users connected to the WIFI to have access to anything else than the internet true WIFI. No access to the rest of the network.

                    I have tested with \IP, \server name and PING the server and it look's like i cant get to it.

                    I wanted to have a confirmation from you that i was indeed protecting my client correctly.

                    I hope it is enough info

                    Tank you for your patience!

                      Well if you want to make sure it behaves as you want, you have to describe accordingly accurate :)

                      Probably the easiest way to make sure is if you create a single rule on the OPT-interface:

                      allow ; protocol:any ; source:OPT-subnet ; sourceport:any ; destination:**!**LAN ; destinationport: any

                      note the **!**LAN
                      This means: destination NOT LAN

                      Like this all traffic not going to the LAN will be allowed.
                      Anything else will be blocked.
