Connecting PC to Domain help

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Sorry to bother you but I need a bit of help to connect my pc to domain.
Here is a list of what I have and the questions below. Sorry about the
questions but the 290 Microsoft press does not provide any info on
configuring a server most of the items have been skipped.

1 pc with Win 2003 server enterprise named Server01 with Domain called
Contoso.com
2 pc with XP Pro with SP2
1 8 port switch
1 wireless router connected to broadband modem

The Server01 has 1 NIC card so I have connected that to port 2 on the switch
and I have also connected the wireless router using ethernet to the uplink
port for the switch and then plugged my 2 XP pro computers to the switch
using the available ports.

On Server01 in the contoso domain I have added the computer names to the
domain and also created user accountso n the domain and created a dhcp scope
of 192.168.0.10-254 and allocated the server01 a static IP of 192.168.0.10
and a default gateway of 192.168.1.1 which is provided by the wireless
router.I installed an active directory. I installed a dhcp server and Dns
forwarder. I have not changed anything on the xp pcs besides try to join
them to domain and failed. I have disabled the firewall on server01.

I have verified that the DHCP, AD, User accounts, Computer Accounts are
there in the Contoso.com domain under the admin tools section.

I went through to system properties-change- join to domain- entered domain
name- then a box came up whereby I had to enter a username and password and
I entered the user details I had created on Server01 but I keep getting
wrong username or bad password.

[b]Am I doing something wrong or is there something I need to setup on the
XP or Server01?
Should I disable DHCP server+ DNS on my wireless Router?
How can I make all my connections by the XP pcs go through the Server01?
Why am I getting error message when the user accounts are valid and
passwords in the Contoso Domain?
How can I create a subnet mask so I can carry on using my wireless internet
whilst tinkering around with the DC and XP pcs?
