how are you routing between the 2 VLANS?

Any Access lists that would be blocking SMB? Or any access lists on the
target server that would prevent it from talking to a non local (same
subnet IP)

Can you ping the the IP on VLAN20?

can you nmap the ip in question?

Does the Server in VLAN 20 have a Default GW or a route to be able to
see you FreeBSD box.

If you reverse it, go to the server in VLAN 20, and try to ping /
connect to the freebsd box what happens?


Just some quick thoughts of the top of my head.

not sure if it matters when acting as a client...
from /usr/local/etc/smb.conf

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
   hosts allow = 192.168.10. 127. 192.168.11. 192.168.12.

This allows the various subnets I have here at home access to the the
SMB server on hobbiton (but with only 1 winders box left, i not sure how
long I will need to still run samba ... :) )
