This error gives me the impression the computer was setup to log on to a
domain, I'm assuming you are using XP Pro as Home Edition can't log on to a
domain. If you don't use your computer to log on to a domain yet the
computer is set up to do so, assuming its XP Pro, then it should be set for
workgroup and not network domain, that's even if it isn't currently a part
of a network.

I assume your computer came preconfigured from the manufacturer or did you
purchase it from someone else as most manufacturer's setup the system to
workgroup as opposed to logging on to a domain unless the users requests
something else and the manufacturer is able to comply.
