Re: connect computer problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The fact that it only works with the IP address tells me that there is
something wrong with your DHCP server configuration. The DHCP server should
give your clients the DNS server address which in turn will resolve the
http://servername/connectcomputer.

Post and ipconfig /all from one of the XP boxes and from your SBS box.
