Windows 7 Machine Can't Connect to Network Share

Thunder plugin for iNews doesn't work in Windows 7 because Windows 7 machines can't connect or map a drive to a network share folder on a machine not in the domain.

Click the Start button and type secpol.msc in the search function.

Browse to "Local Policies" -> "Security Options".
Now look for the entry "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level" and open it.
Click on the dropdown menu and select:
"Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated".
Apply the settings.
