cant get dvd's with divx files on them to play in LinMCE 7.04

ok.. I have been messing around with this... this is what I have setup in my house and how I want it to work:

I have a Linux MCE box hooked straight up to my tv, internet connection is coming from my router..

I have a 2nd pc, that is running windows, and 3 HD's.. 2 internal, 1 external.. These have lots of videos and media in them.. also hooked to router

I also have a vveeerrrryyy large collection of divx, avi, and hella video files.. movies, skate videos, south park, etc..

I want to be able to access the media on my windows box from my linux mce box, and play that on the tv...

I also cannot get my dvd's with the video files on them to play... when I go to video, it doesnt list anything... when I put the dvd in, it says it cannot play it...

how do I correct these issues?

Set up windows shares and have lmce detect them.
Copy the divx files from DVD to the harddrive.
