Hey everyone, i'm really new to this stuff, and need some help.

I just bought a 1TB LaCie Network Storage drive and can't get it to work properly.

I have a Powerbook G4 trying to play movies via VLC that are stored on the drive. The Powerbook is connected directly to my DL504T which is connected to the drive. The movie loads but stutters all the time (a divx movie). It plays music fine via iTunes when setup this way. Is it something i am doing or is it the drive or could it be my old modem/router?

If i connect the Powerbook to my Airport Express (in bridge mode) and the AE to the modem/router, i can't load the movie in VLC and the music from iTunes stutters badly?

Any help appreciated.
