If you are getting a dial up connection dialog box appearing then you are not set up correctly in Internet Explorer properties. Make sure that in Internet Explorer, tools, Internet Options, connections, you are set to never dial a connection. Also check in your LAN settings in case a proxy is set.
When connecting to the SACM you need to power off the PC,
power off the SACM
Connect the ethernet cable to the SACM and PC
Reboot SACM
Allow all lights to settle and lock
Power up PC
Open browser.

Do you have a firewall running at all on the computer? Also do you have the Windows XP CD in case you need to clean install the OS?
