Double-click Network Connections.
Right-click the icon for the local area connection, and then click Properties.
Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
Under Use the following DNS server addresses, type the Small Business Server internal IP address, and then click OK two times.
Use the DNS domain name
After you make sure that Windows XP is using a local DNS server, use the full DNS domain name when you try to add the computer to the domain. To determine the DNS domain name, follow these steps:
On Small Business Server, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
Click the Network Identification tab, and then check the domain name that is listed.
Remove third-party firewall software
On the Windows XP-based computer, click Start, and then click Control Panel.

Follow recommendations for setting up Windows XP When you set up Windows XP on a Small Business Server network, Microsoft recommends that you add the computer to the domain before you install any client programs.

In this case, you must install Firewall Client manually on the client computer, and then remove the program.
To install Firewall Client manually, follow these steps:
On Windows XP, click Start, and then click Run.
Type \\ServerName\mspclnt where ServerName is the name of the Small Business Server computer, and then click OK.
