There are data errors on our intranet network when moving files between our unix servers (samba) and windows clients:
- only some bytes are changed in certain files,
- when copying a batch of files, always the same files are corrupted,
- which are always solid (compressed or executable) files,
- all win clients are exposed to the corruption, but to a different extent .

Anyone else finding the same symptoms? Is there any reason or a workaround?

I don't know if this applies, but I had an issue with file corruption on my home network with RH8.0 Linux and XP. When I copied some files, they corrupted. When I copied other files (some larger, some smaller) they weren't. Sometimes it would crash the Linux computer during copies.

I spent forever trying to figure out what was going wrong because I had been using every piece of equipment for nearly a year beforehand with both computers running 2k or XP. As it turned out, it was a driver issue in Linux with the network card in that box. I replaced the network card, and bang... it worked.

Have you had similar issues or tried similar solutions?
