If it does not appear, you may need to adjust the authentication level required for mapping to Unix servers.

By default Windows 7 and Vista set the policy for LAN Manager authentication to "NTVLM2 responses only" which causes the inability to map to our WWW server. In order to connect you will need to modify these settings.
