Try the large .zip file first.
I've seen WinXP act strangely when there is a large .zip file in a directory.

There are mainly .EXE files, windows software. This is where the IT
department keeps most of the programs we need to install on other
machines. There is also a fairly large .ZIP file located in this
directory. I've renamed the share IT, and moved the contents out of
the directory, created a new directory, now I'm going to start
adding files back in one at a time and see if I can repeat the problem.

is there anything strange about the number of files in that dir compared
to the others, or strange naming (mixed case)?

I just tried what you suggested. I shut down all instances of AVG
on the client and it is still screeching to a halt. I've got 57%
CPU and 68% Network Utilization and the browse window will
eventually show (NOT RESPONDING). I have ran benchmark tests on
the network, and everything is fine. It only happens on this
share. I can zip through all other shares on the network, even
directories full of JPG's with thumbnail previews, but once I get
into that /information_systems/ share, everything slows to a
crawl. I wondered if it was maybe the share name, maybe the
underscore is a bad idea. I also thought maybe its a file that is
causing the issue. Maybe I should one by one start moving files
out of that share and see how it affects it.

What happens if you turn off the anti-virus on the client machine?

I have a Samba PDC and a file server (domain member). They are
both running CentOS 4, with Samba3-3.0.24-30 and LDAP 2.3 (on
PDC). Domain authentication seems to be running fine and file
access on the file server works also. I have one share on the
file server that gives me trouble. Whenever I access files from
this one directory, the network seems to lock up for close to a
minute. I get 64% or more network utilization on the client PC,
no packets seem to be moving. If I run TOP on the file server, I
see that the top process is the SMBD command from the user who
is accessing the directory in question. It shows about 16% or
more CPU utilization on the server and the process will stay
there for close to a minute. Also, during this "hang time" the
PC client is pretty much frozen, I cannot minimize the browse
window or bring up task manager. After about a minute or so,
suddenly it will come back to life and I can access the file, or
run the executable that I am trying to access from that
directory. Any other directory seems to work fine. I don't no
have any other slow-downs. See conf file below:
