    You have set up your user on the SBS box and then tried to connect through internet explorer with \\servername\ConnectComputer?

    It could be relating to the fact you are running Media Centre Edition. Try to configure the laptop to connect to the server manually

    XP Media Center behaves similarly to XP Home edition. These editions are not made to attach to a server but you can manually do so as said in the above post.
    To each his/her own.
