Simple solution.... make an entry in the hosts file and all is well. Not very elegant but got us running.<br />

Opening the ports is also an option, but for those circumstances where access to firewall not allowed this works just fine

I Have a Cisco ASA5510 firewall, and have places a server on the DMZ.  I can remote desktop to the server, but I cannot mount a share on the server from inside the LAN?

Are there special security policies needed on the firewall to allow mapping of a network drive?

Network Drive on DMZ

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
