It sounds like you're having problems joining the domain from a client/user system.
Just to double check, you're using the servers IP as the clients DNS?
Also you're sure you're trying //servername/connectcomputer and not //serverIP/connectcomputer using the IP has always failed in my experience.
Lastly check that the browser doesn't use a pop up blocker.
Each client will probably need to install software from the server and if you've a pop up blocker enabled it could be preventing that window from surfacing thus preventing the software from being installed.
Let us know how you progress...

I am running rather than using the IP address. The clients DNS is setup to the SBS IP address. The client is set to a static IP address. The browser does not have a popup blocker running.
