Firewall Rule won't let me chose Mac Addresses as source or destination

Hi, I have 2 computers in 2 separate VLAN's, and I need to make them see each other. There are many other computers in both VLAN's but I only want these 2 specific computers to talk with each other. I made Addresses for both computers (for their mac addresses) but it doesn't let me chose that as source and destination. Any ideas ?

 

Thanks

In the interface field put "any" and redo the test.

Can you post a screenshot of the MAC address object?

Still doesn't let me chose the Machine IO address as a destination. Here's the firewall rule I made. From WaveVFX VLAN which Stefan-PC belongs, to the IO VLAN which the Machine IO belongs. For destination I made an address with ip range which is the fixed ip of the Machine IO. But as you can see, Stefan PC cannot ping or reach Machine IO even with this rule enabled

Actually, with the configuration above, it works, I only needed smb so I put SMB and SAMBA services instead and I can access the share on IO

 

Thank you !
