annoying server 2008 problem -.-

Hi,

I have just installed SBS 2008 on my dell powerdge 2850 and a Server enterprise 2008 x86 on an HP server i have.

my problem is that i cannot add client computers to the SBS network, nor can i add the second server to the domain.

All computers/servers point to the 2850 for DNS and I have tried with static IP's and DHCP from the 2850.

i have set up a DHCP scope from the 2850, also DNS lookups are set up, all computers can ping the server.

when i go to http://Connect i get 'internet explorer cannot display the webpage' if i go to http://localhost i also get the same message.

this is really annoying me .

any ideas?

ta

Ali

P.S all clients are running WIN 7 ultimate
