Just starting out - NOOB networking questions Options

[stafman]

Hi All,

Just starting out with my brand new WDTV Live Plus. Have it connected to my WIFI network via a DAP-1522 Bridge. And plan to rip my movies to my Drobo FS.

So my questions are probably fairly easy for some, and my apologies if there was a tutorial somewhere, but i didnt find one and the search function kept coming back with errors.

Question 1.
I have figured out how to create shares on my Drobo. Is there a specific name or file structure (multiple shares, or folders within 1 share) that i should be using in order for the WDTV Live Plus to access the data?

Question 2.
If no specific file structure, what are some successful methods others have used. I plan on streaming movies and TV shows, and later Music to a SONOS (or similar) system down the track.

Question 3.
Once the shares are setup, How do i get the WDTVLive+ to access those shares? I have got far as Network Settings, but then it gets to something called SAMBA setup??? Then I am lost...

Those are my first round of questions.

Thanks in advance for any help that you are able to provide.
