New SBS2008 cannot get clients to access http://connect
I cannot get clients to connect to a new server by using the http://connect
I can get on the internet and ping the server by name and ip
I can access the server's resources by \\servername and \\ip
What else do I need to troubleshoot.

Item 3 above is on the workstation NIC

Ok I added the DNS setting of the server and still nothing.
added? did you remove any others?

No there was no other nic's. I was able to manually add the computer then I was able to go to //connect and added the computer/user the right way. Strange but I am going to start the next pc.

Try to add the domain suffix at the client NIC settings that could not connect to http://connect

Thanks
the client machine must point ONLY to the SBS for DNS. You cannot use an ISP or router even as an alternate
you shouldn't need to but it sometimes helps to add the internal DNS suffix under advanced TCP/IP properties on the DNS page
If WIN7 clients make sure you have all updates and rollups installed on the server, I think you requre RU3 or newer
