I then did a standard "Map Network Drive" in Windows 11. I connected to
\ipad1\LANDrive". I entered my name and password (that I setup on the iPad
SMB Server).  All very standard Windows networking stuff. So it clearly IS
using port 445.

But it can't be. lol.

 I'm always logically sensible and reasonable, and if I make a mistake, I
own up to it - but more to the point - I look for proven facts before I
make my assessments of those facts.
 That's the fundamental difference between a normal person & an Apple troll.
Apple trolls are what they are because they guess at everything.
 They're herd animals to the core.
It's a protective mechanism because they can't resolve fact from fiction.
 So they assume the herd, en masse, does what they themselves, can't do.
 First off, this wouldn't be the first time Apple trolls "claimed" something
that they "saw" thinking it proved what they didn't bother to understand.
 Witness, for example, the infamous Snit (with Jolly Roger & nospam's +1)
  *2-1/2 minute Snit video purportedly detailing iOS showing Wi-Fi decibels*
  <https://youtu.be/7QaABa6DFIo> iKooks can't even see the fatal flaw!

I'd rather witness your attempt to deflect from the fact that multiple people have shown that that which you claim cannot work...
...works.

 That video, which JR & nospam high-fived, proves none of the Apple trolls
ever learned the the difference between a MegabitPerSecond & a Decibel.
 It's almost certainly a similar logical fallacy at work here.
a. We know the SMB servers work
b. But we also are aware they can't use ports below 1024 (AFAICT)
c. So redirection is most likely what's really going on under the covers
 All the triumphant insults by the Apple trolls aside, the technical
question to resolve is what port do the iOS/Android SMB servers use?

Other than avoiding admitting you're wrong, why would anyone care?
