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.

No you don't. You look for anything that you try and squirm away from the
facts when they don't match your anti-Apple bias.

 
 
It's almost certainly a similar logical fallacy at work here.

Nope. The only fallacy here is you being "happy to be wrong".

a. We know the SMB servers work

Yes

b. But we also are aware they can't use ports below 1024 (AFAICT)

Wrong.

c. So redirection is most likely what's really going on under the covers

Wrong.

All the triumphant insults by the Apple trolls aside, the technical
question to resolve is what port do the iOS/Android SMB servers use?

Try. It. Out. Yourself.
