Is there any security set up on these shared folders to allow access by security group membership? If it doesn't work on occasion it sounds like the clients are not domain members or logged on to the domain.

Are they getting an error message when trying to access the folder or do they not see the folder at all?

I would check the time on the server. I know it sounds weird, but a domain controller who's time is off can cause problems at the client level. I would also check the server error logs to see what is going on, I am sure something is logged.

Have you looked at the server log as Rockn suggested? How do they access the folder? a mapped drive or by exploring the network?

It may also be a communications error with a bad NIC or cable causing the issue. If you are using TCP/IP as a protocol it should work. Do you have any security or virus software running on the server? If so try disabling them and see what happens to the access.

Read Only access would not cause this issue so giving them full access is not a solution.

do it this way
create one folder as the parent folder folder and give full access to this folder and create subfolders within this parent folder and give users permission to this subfolders
