Get "Server Error 403-Forbidden: access is denied" message when you try to machine client join in Small Business Server 2011 Essentials

Hi people,
I recently deployed a Server SBS 2011 Essentials version in our office. We are very please with everything except for one thing. We have an IBM T42 laptop running Win XP Pro SP3 (fully patched) I can not stick to the server.
Whenever I type the URL to bring up the software of the connector (http://servername/connect), I get a browser message-"Server Error 403-Forbidden: access is denied." You don't have permissio to view this directory or page using the credentials you provided. »
I can ping the IP address of the server successfully and can navigate to the shared folders on the server without any problem. I also have two Dell laptops that are running Win7 Pro, and I had no problem to join these to the server/domain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello

Your question of Windows 7 is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited to the TechNet Windows Server Forums. Please post your question in the TechNet forum.
