We have a LAN and the router is the DHCP server. We have a server with Windows SBS 2008, it has the IP address 192.168.1.2 while the router has the IP address 192.168.1.1.
I have tried to add a client computer to the SBS domain by visiting http://connect from the client computer. But that page doesn't exist. I can visit http://192.168.1.2/ then the default startpage for IIS7 is shown. I'm logged in as a local Administrator on the computer that I tries to add to the domain.
How do I add the client computer to the SBS 2008 domain?
UPDATE: I have now set the Windows SBS 2008 as DHCP Server. I can connect to http://connect/ on an Windows XP client, but I have problem with a Windows Vista client, it can not connect to http://connect/ and I have tried to renew the IP address and flush the DNS Cash with ipconfig /flushdns but it doesn't help.
How can I solve this?

You should really use SBS2008 as your DHCP server, as gravyface noted in his comment. Regardless though, you also need to ensure that the clients are pointed to DNS on the SBS2008 box directly. You could either modify DHCP settings on the router or (preferred) switch to using the DHCP on the server which will likely already be configured for you.
