2003 Server 3 network? I have changed teh workgroup to be the domain name
but it still does not seem to see the network.

Only Windows XP Professional is designed to join a domain.

As Carey said, XP Home can't join a domain. However, you can use domain
resources with it. Here is a link to help with that:

Also, don't post your real unmunged email address on Usenet and
messageboards. It will be harvested by spambots. Here's a link
explaining that:
