Question
Cannot logon to domain controller
I run a computer network at a small factory and we are running Windows Small Business Server 2003 as the DC.

Therein lies your problem.
Remove 192.168.0.101 from the DNS Server IP Configuration of the SBS's NIC, and then rerun the Configure Email and Internet Connection Wizard (CEICW -- which is linked as Connect to the Internet in the Server Management Console > To-Do List).
A visual how-to for the CEICW is here: http://sbsurl.com/ceicw
Change the workstation to use DHCP, which is hopefully being supplied by your SBS, and reboot it.
If your SBS isn't providing DHCP, I'd recommend that you change it to do so by following the steps outlined at the bottom of http://sbsurl.com/dhcp

I can easily remove the DNS server ending in .101, but because the .101 address is a computer on the network that is running as a proxy server, will that create any issues for connecting? Secondly, how can I get all of the current settings for the SBS box, because I'd rather not mess any of the email settings up.
It shouldn't affect anything due to your proxy server... but what kind of proxy server are you running?
How do you get all of the current settings for the SBS box? Do you mean the ones set by running the CEICW to begin with? Every time you run that wizard it saves all the settings used in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\Networking\ICW\. So they are already saved for you.

What error message do you get when other users try to logon?
After a failed login attempt, login as admin and check event viewer on the local machine and on the SBS box. Then double check your TCP/IP settings. Compare ipconfig /all on a working machine to it. Post results here.
Also, try another domain admin account. I'm guessing that the machine has cached your credentials, so you can login but other users cannot, but if other domain admins can login, this would not be the case.
