What the heck broke?

Apologize if this isn't the correct form. I really hope someone on here can help me.
I am posting here since I have tried everything I can think of with no success. I even reinstalled pfSense 2.0 RC3 and also reset the synology to factory defaults. I have been messing with pfSense and a synology DS211J for 2 days now. I cannot access the synology at all. Been trying over port 5001. No success
The best thing about all this is that it was working PERFECTLY yesterday morning and was working fine for the last week.
I have the synology on a separate VLAN101 at 192.168.101.2. My laptop is on VLAN102 at 192.168.102.6.

Does the firewall log report any of your access attempts?
Does a pfSense packet capture on interface VLAN102 show any of your access attempts?

Hi wallabybob, thanks for reply and suggestion. I checked packet capture and I do not see any attempts to access 192.168.101.2.
Also, the firewall log does not show any access attempt for either the port 5001 or the synology IP 192.168.101.2.
I have both VLAN101 and VLAN102 wide open. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Your laptop is using the wrong default gateway? (Perhaps you have another DHCP server on your network and the laptop got a lease from it.)
Your packet capture specified the wrong parameter values?
Your access attempt begins with a host name which gets translated to the wrong IP address?
On the laptop try to tracert (Windows command prompt) or traceroute (Unix shell) the synology to verify path.
On the laptop set up a ping to corresponding pfSense IP address for a few hundred packets or so and tweak the packet capture until you can see the ping. Or use tcpdump on the pfSense console as the packet capture.

Great suggestions wallybybob. Thanks for the help.

Negative. My laptop IP is manually set. I can ping both the VLAN102 and the VLAN101 interface from my laptop though. Synology is on VLAN101, laptop is on VLAN102.

Don't think so. I tried both synology IP of 192.168.101.2 and my IP of 192.168.102.6 with not specifying any ports. I can see 192.168.102.6 traffic, but nothing related 192.168.101.2

Negative there also. I use https://192.168.101.2:5001 to access the synology device.
