    I’m an early adopter of the SimpleNET. Good device; however, in Windows 7 RC1 x64, the CIFS file system does not read/display ISO files over SimpleNET. Oddly, the included FTP server will display ISO files. This reduces the value of the device since you cannot play DVDs packed as ISOs using a media streamer (e.g., WDTV). Hopefully, a firmware update will resolve this in short order.

      July 27 — Correction. After further testing, SimpleNET will display ISOs of smaller file sizes, but larger file sizes (for example 3.5GB-4.3GB) do not display in file directories. And yes, this was observed on NTFS formatted drives. I have not tested whether this file-size-limit issue applies to all file formats. Since DVD5 and DVD9 ISO files exceed these limits, the observed problem remains–you cannot stream a DVD across SimpleNET. –Joe
