Direct SMB between Live Hub and mybooklive possible?

Does anyone know if it is possible to connect the WD Live Hub to a 3TB mybooklive directly using smb so that I can access iso files. The Hub sees the mybooklive twonky fine, but I can’t connect via smb. I need to run this in an off grid cabin (generator). 

Tried using a router to assign ip’s , which let the hub see the mybooklive in the smb list, but it would not authenticate.

I assume there are some router settings I need to configure?

Of course it is.

No, you should not need to configure anything in your router…
