I would setup a packet sniffer and try to figure out if one particular
machine is flodding your network.  Etherpeek is a fairly decent one, and I
believe it has a 30 day demo.

Thanks for the responses.

The NIC cards are SMC EZ 10/100 1255TXs. I have a half dozen installed in
different machines with no problems. I thought about the cable and have
already replaced it. The switch is fine -- all other ports work great. I
have moved the servers to different ports on the switch and the same problem
comes up. Packet tracing shows that every packet from the client hits the
servers successfully.

I am 99% sure it is not a connectivity issue because the problem is not
intermittent, per se. That is, if the same client copies the same files the
copy always fails (with a timeout / network busy error) in the exact same
place.

Any thoughts on how software might cause this issue? Is there any other tool
that anyone knows of that might help me track down exactly what is happening
and why?

I would check your NIC cards.  By chance are the 3c905b's?
