I kept the netbios name the same.  I added in all new users and I have a
new group of computers that never connected to the old server.  The shares
are setup different on this new server also.

These new computers have the same problem as the others so I don't think
that is the problem.

My file/folder browsing seems fine actually.  It is just the logging in
that is really, really slow.

Thanks for the info.
