Windows mapped drives

Hello. I have question concerning windows mapped drives. I have a setup that involves a privately addressed, internal windows host (10.x.x.x) mapping a drive to a windows server that resides off of a less-secure (but not the Internet) interface on a six-port firewall. Barring that the server is hardened and updated and the ACLs in the firewall allow the connection from the internal host to the server (stateful firewall) and not vice versa, are we opening up any risks in the direction from the server to the internal host because of the mapped drive? Thanks. - K --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethical Hacking at the InfoSec Institute. Mention this ad and get $545 off any course!
