My computer is already called misheck1 and has computer account on the

to join it to domain and when asked for a username and password I have
entered one that is in The domain controller, domain admin, admin and user
and all these have failed with same result wrong username and password. The
only thing I have noticed is that when I try to join to domain under system
properties and change name and when I select domain and enter (contoso.com)
that comes up with domain controller not found but when I enter (contoso)
which on the server01 pc is the Netbios name for computers before XP thats
accepted and proceeds me to the next screen where I have to enter a username
and password and thats where I get all the error messages.

First try and fix your DNS issues. Hopefully the DNS problem is just
because you are using your ISP's DNS (on the clients).
Change the DNS on the client to point to IP address of the server
(192.168.0.10). As has been suggested ensure you do not have two DHCP
severs running (disable the router one) and the clients should then pick
up the correct settings (including DNS).
Double check you are using a Valid 'domain account' and the password is
correct, because it appears that this is the issue.
