4 port bridge can't access samba share
-
Greetings,
I am running pfsense on leftover hardware and installed an Intel 4 port nic. I bridged the 4 ports, changed the tunables to filter on the bridge and turned on DHCP. I installed snort and have sensors on the LAN ports. I have 2 pc, printer on port 1. TV streaming on port2 and a WAP on port 3 handling all the wireless.
Everything is working fine. I can access my webserver. I can ping anything on the network. The printer works from any machine and I can ssh into various service on any branch. I can reach anything by its hostname. However, I cannot reach windows shares unless I am on the same physical cable. If I run nmap it shows the ports open except 137, 138, 445...the ports that shares would use.
I tried adding any rules to the bridge members etc. No luck.
Other than using a bridge (lol) what am I missing?
Thanks!

How did you try that? By IPs or by hosnames?
If by hostnames check if it resolves correctly. -
Thanks. I can do things either way hostnames or ip. I can ssh either way. I just can't get windows shares to work unless on same port and that is going through a switch in another room. So thats probably why that leg works - I forget that earlier.

@Yak64 said in 4 port bridge can't access samba share:
I just can't get windows shares to work
That was what I was asking for. IP or hostnames?
If you are missing that the shares are discovered by the file browser and displayed automatically, that won't work over a router.

It is all working now. Like many I guess, I am new to pfsense. In learning the software I had the system bridged, took it apart and had individual subnets; put the bridge together again etc and generally messed with it a lot. So I reloaded from scratch, set everything up and bridged the ports. Now all is working including share access. Maybe from all the playing there was a remnant of something(s) in config somewhere?
The shares still don't show it the neighborhood but I don't think Windows plays nice with samba anyway. I have the shares mapped and that works for me!
Thanks
