More details, please:
How are you connecting to the NAS?
Ethernet
What brand is it?
Storango 400
What version Mac OS?
10.4.11 (PPC g5)
and Snow on a dual intel iMac
What do you mean 'File nameing issues'? There shouldn't be any.
Files with 'unacceptable' names containing certain characters and
such stop the transfers with a warning box
The mac OS does play just fine with NAS storage, unless the NAS
itself is foo.
What I;ve been reading on line (in likely wrong places?) shows
mostly folks that can't make this sort of thing work really well at
all. Likwise my local repair shop says only the Drobo is a viable
answer.

A while back I bought a 4-drive NAS for the mac network here and
found out that between
a- the file naming issues made trying to back things up a mess
and
b- MAC OS doesn;t play nice with NAS access in general
I have a bunch of partial backup material on the NAS that needs to
be transferred onto new HD's for organization
and, so far, when I try that, the transfer stalls a few minutes
into things and I have to reboot to get control back.
