TCP Listener returned error on accept = AFP blows up. Need help

Environment: 10.6.7 Server. Xserver. All Mac clients. It's a school. Problem: AFP refusing connections or not loading the Home Directory Symptoms: Library/Logs/AppleFileService/AppleFileServiceError.log blown out with "TCP Listener returned error on accept" happening every second.

I cannot figure this out. The server has not been updated recently. -checkhostname returns no error. There have been some new iMacs (10.6.8) connected recently. I have read this might be MaxThreads; or corrupt .DS files, but I am really struggling. Please - any clues at all? I can't keep rebooting every day. Any ideas at all please.
