REALLY basic help. WTF is going on??

Been trying to set up a media server at home, but what a fight it has been!!
I have tried several different servers (UMS, KODI, others) and several different clients.
I've tried SMB, NFS and uuNp, all to no avail. This seems like it should be a pretty basic process, but damn sure not for me.
On some server software the videos play perfect LOCALLY, but as soon as I try streaming thru my Intranet, they either don't play at all or have a myriad of problems.
I get errors like instead of the .ISO showing up, I get individual files like title 1, title 2, etc.... Yes, I know some will say ditch .VOB and go with .mkv but AFAIK plex is the only one that does NOT support DVD .iso and I like the menuing system of native DVDs.
Is this enough info for some expert to say "AHA!! you forgot this or that" or am I really out in the weeds on this and the troubleshooting will be monumental.???
