There is currently limited compatibility between the SimpleShare and Windows Vista. Microsoft added new security features that have caused issues with the Linux base of the SimpleShare. While most users have been able to get basic data access, the advanced features of the SimpleShare are not working in Vista. This applies most specifically to the password protection options in the SimpleShare. This feature cannot be enabled if you would like to access the SimpleShare from Vista. With the release of Mac OS 10.4.9 new security features have been added to the OS that limit compatibility with the SimpleShare. While some users have been able to continue accessing the SimpleShare, most new setups fail. We are investigating these issues, but do not currently have a work around available.
