This looks to me that the TS is in the pool reserved for VPN's

Try giving the TS a static IP in the SBS default reserved DHCP list of non
assigned IP's of 1 through 10, or change the scope of your DHCP reserved
pool to move all these addresses above, say 30.

So the owner, pretty computer savy, went to the TS, unjoined it from the
domain, but when trying to rejoin it using connectcomputer, it cannot find
the sbs. It cannot ping sbs by name or by its IP, but it can ping all
local workstations by name or IP. It has a static IP assinged,
192.168.16.20, Default GW pointing to the SBS's internal IP.

WHen trying to join it the traditional way, we get an error that the
domain controller cannot be contacted. A timeout has expired.
Now Im a bit more confused, whether this be a local DNS problem or what.

Use ConnectComputer to join the TS to the domain. Then re-run CEICW,
enable the firewall and complete the rest of CEICW. They try RWW again.

No, it was joined the traditional way, but all the workstations were
joined using the wizard. I'll be onsite shortly and provide an update.

Did you join the TS to the domain using ConnectComputer (which you
should do)?

I think its just habit, though a good idea to steer TS users towards
it. I tried it just now with RWW, and even though I select the name of
TS, it logs me on to the domain controller (SBS). I have to do
something to resolve this by Monday. Any ideas? Call MS?
Thanks for the help.

Any reason that you don't use RWW to make the initial connections?

So far, across SBS Land, the hassle factor is:

RWW = very little once the DNS is right, or you could use the public
ip of inet facing device.

VPN = a lot

(all hassle definitions are relative, ymmv)

I'm working on the issue remotely. I VPN to the network, then use
RDP to get to the SBS server and to the TS. I'll check the config
based on the suggestions and let you guys know.

Beside Larry's comments, when you say you try to remote to the TS,
where are you trying to do this from? LAN or Outside.
Also, are you running ISA? 1NIC or 2NIC?

I recently deployed an SBS 2003 Prem server with a second server
acting as TS. When I try to remote to that server, it logs me on to
the SBS instead. I am just beginning to troublshoot this issue, but
if someone has tips, it would be welcomed. It worked for a week,
and just started doing this a day ago.

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: DNS
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7062
Date: 11/16/2007
Time: 10:55:07 PM
User: N/A
Computer: TMB
Description:
The DNS server encountered a packet addressed to itself on IP
address 192.168.16.2. The packet is for the DNS name
"gtnconsulting.com.". The packet will be discarded. This condition
usually indicates a configuration error.

Check the following areas for possible self-send configuration
errors:
1) Forwarders list. (DNS servers should not forward to
themselves).
2) Master lists of secondary zones.
3) Notify lists of primary zones.
4) Delegations of subzones. Must not contain NS record for this
DNS server unless subzone is also on this server.
5) Root hints.

Example of self-delegation:
-> This DNS server dns1.example.microsoft.com is the primary for
the zone example.microsoft.com.
-> The example.microsoft.com zone contains a delegation of
bar.example.microsoft.com to dns1.example.microsoft.com,
(bar.example.microsoft.com NS dns1.example.microsoft.com)
-> BUT the bar.example.microsoft.com zone is NOT on this server.

Note, you should make this delegation check (with nslookup or DNS
manager) both on this DNS server and on the server(s) you
delegated the subzone to. It is possible that the delegation was
done correctly, but that the primary DNS for the subzone, has any
incorrect NS record pointing back at this server. If this
incorrect NS record is cached at this server, then the self-send
could result. If found, the subzone DNS server admin should remove
the offending NS record.
