Just so you know - I am trying to help you here, but you have to give more
information. You have left out a lot of details and assumed a lot more.

Saying it is XP Home instead of XP Professional leaves a lot of unanswered
questions. If, however, you say that it is XP Professional but is unable to
contact the corporate network to join the domain and gives these errors or
you say that you don't have the option to join the domain at all or you say
you are outside the corporate firewall and cannot see the machines or...

Well, you get the idea.

It's sort of like calling your auto mechanic and telling him your car is
making a mechanical noise, what's wrong. He's going to laugh and say "can
