Hi Nathan,                  at the risk of being a nuisance, does this solve my problem, though I have no idea what it means or how to go about it, I need to hand it to somebody to do the necessary. 
But it was easy enoughto connect my Lubuntu laptop as a Network File System (NFS) Clientvia three shell commands.First, I changed directory to my home directory and created a nfsdirectory in there:
$ cd $HOME
$ mkdir nfsThen I applied the following three shell commands:
$ sudoapt-get install nfs-common
$ showmount -e 
$ sudo mount -osoft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 192.168.1.132:/nfs /home/If you cd into nfs you’ll be accessing the WD My Cloud device.That’s it. I started to copy twenty mp4 files totalling 1.6GB intothe device through 802.11g and it took 8 minutes. I was thenstreaming these on my iPad mini.I hope this helps assure you you can connect to this from Linux. Iknow once I finished the plug and play I panicked for a bit thinkingI wouldn’t be able to connect my Linux machines to this device butnow I happily throw everything I have onto this. Also, it has a USB 3port on the back so I can simply plug another 4TB USB drive on it andexpand it in the future.John.
