It may be a good idea to check your LAN cables and switch. A bad LAN cable can give a lot of intermittent problems that would show up most on file transfers.

I have two file servers that have recently become useless as file servers. First, many clients on various OSes get "Network Busy" dialogs when transferring files back and forth to the servers. This dialog is more frequent when uploading, but does occur when downloading. The second problem is that when files are "successfully" moved to or from the servers they are often corrupted. This activity is fairly recent (2-3 mo) - the servers used to work fine. No network hardware or configuration has changed and these servers are just two out of a dozen on the same switch. The clients connecting to them come from both outside our firewall on the DMZ and internally on the LAN side. The servers are both Windows 2000 domain controllers, one is the master role holder (PDC). At first I thought this was an RPC issue with Windows 9x clients, but that doesn't seem to be the case because NT and 2000 clients have the same issues and they seem to find the servers' RPC service okay. My guess is that the problem is software based, but I am out of ideas beyond that. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
