ok, so i have been trying to get an smb share going to stream movies from my laptop to my wii, but i cant for the life of me get it to work....is there a good tutorial somewhere that can walk me through it step by step?? i have tried searching with google, but i can't find any info relevant to the wii, just setting up shares for other computers on my network..

Probably easiest just to download filezilla and set up a share with that.

http://filezilla-project.org/

It's free and works really well,

Edit: I should mention I use Filezilla and the latest WiiMC, really great combo.

which version do i download?? server or client??

Filezilla is only needed if you want to use FTP, not SMB. This isn't the most detailed tutorial, but it gets the job done:
