Copying zip files from Windows box across network doesn't work

I am in process of moving a bunch of files from an XP box to my new Powerbook. All files seem to move over just fine, with the exception of .zip files.

When I try to copy the files from the Mac, then paste, I momentarily see the zip file, then it disappears. If I start Windows file sharing on the Mac, then move the files using Windows, they copy fine. Same goes for emailing across - works fine. The Mac just doesn't want to copy and paste this file type itself.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Cheers.
 
I am having the same issue. If I connect to a winXP machine and try to copy stuff from that folder to a folder on my ibook I either get:

A) 1 or 2 files may copy but the rest show up for a second and then disappear

or

B) All the files just show up for a second then disappear.

But if i connect to the mac from the xp machine and copy from the xp to the mac everything works fine.


If anyone could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated
