[Samba] Slow Access

Before yesterday I had a perfectly (as far as I could tell) functioning PDC
with samba, roaming profiles and all.  Yesterday I made some changes to the
server

1.) install dhcp3 server
2.) changed IPs from 192.168.1.50 to 192.168.1.1
3.) changed netbios name from garnet-base to garnetmain
4.) started two more interfaces eth1 (172.17.0.0/16) and eth2 (cable
internet)  eth0 is still 192.168.0.0/16
5.) setup iptables to route between eth0 and eth2 so the server is also the
internet gateway (eth2 is also an internet accessible interface) . Here are
the iptables:

iptables -A FORWARD -i eth2 -o eth0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j
ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth2 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -j LOG
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth2 -j MASQUERADE


1.) Now my whole server is slowed right down, file transfers ftp, smb afp
are all slowed right down.  There is a process called 
root         3 59.6  0.0     0    0 ?        R<   10:16  11:04 [events/0]

that is eating all my cpu

2.) I'm having LMB and DMB problems on the server, here is the tails from
syslog

As you can see somehow something has kept record of 192.168.1.50, and I'm
not sure what.  


3.) there are some other smb errors in the logs:

Jul 14 10:35:49 localhost smbd[3065]: [2004/07/14 10:35:49, 0]
rpc_server/srv_pipe.c:api_pipe_netsec_process(1371)

Jul 14 10:35:49 localhost smbd[3065]:   process_request_pdu: failed to do
schannel processing.

Not sure what to do about those.


If someone could please help me that would be great thanks.
