<![CDATA[Network Share Across 2 ip ranges]]>Hey hey.

Is it possible to share a file on a file server on ip range a across a network on range b using pfsense.

Range a is currently 10.1.0.0
Range b is currently 10.2.0.0

The subnets are both 255.255.255.0

Both range a & b are on there own interfaces.

The only difference between range a & b is the b has a proxy server filtering requests.

Any help is greatly appreciate.

135-139 udp and tcp
445 tcp/udp

All the machines on the network i am trying to share the file with are linux machines.

I hope that made sense

If your share is from M$, the best way is routing instead of nat.

I am currently setting up NAT. What protocol would i need to allow for the mapping to be successful?

What protocol do computers use to find and map shared directories on the network?

Would it mean then that the pfsense firewall on a @10.1.0.1 and on b @10.2.0.1 would be reachable so users on subnet b can bypass the proxy?

Aldo check if host in both networks know how to reach a and b.
