Well, after trying many more things (like formating the hard drive and reinstalling Windows XP) I finally figured out that it was the DHCP server. I had turned it off when working on another problem. For some reason, not all the computers were affected. When I turned it back on, it all worked like magic. Thanks.

Most of the clients on my network are connecting to the internet just fine and I set them all up the same. However, there is one computer that connects to the SBS servers various resources but can not connect to the internet. Here's what I've tried:

That's right, I can't http to the very same server but if I use ftp it connects and I can download files. ALSO, I can sit at home and use Remote Web Workplace to connect from the internet to that computer with no problem. So, I can connect to it over the internet, it can connect using ftp, but it can't browse the web using IE or Mozilla.
