Mac Win network
I am having trouble with our Win2000 to Mac OS 10.2.6 network at work.
We currently use 3 Macs in our department and the rest of the company is all windows. Recently, the IT guys set up some space for us on the Win 2000 server. When we try to copy a lot of files at once (e.g. back up parts of our mac's hard drive to the win 2000 server), the copying quits with an error -43.
Our IT department is opposed to our continued use of Macs and their solution to the problem is to switch us over to Windows machines. Obviously, I am trying to avoid that situation. Is there someone that can help?

This would be a truly modern OS then.

Thanks for your help, MCQ. Your advice helped but there are still problems. The copying process still aborts in the middle but this time it produces either an error -50 or a error -43. I've searched through the whole drive to eliminate those special characters but it still gives me error -43. Perhaps there are invisible files with illegal characters? And I don't have a clue to what error -50 means. Can someone clarify this?
This one doesn't seem to make much sense, but here's what I found on Apple's support site:

If you get more error codes (or, to find alternate documents explaining where these error codes appear), go to Apple's support site:

And type in the error like "Error 50" without using the minus sign.
