Do you really mean "Domain"? That word has a special meaning in Windows
networking. A regular home network will use a "Workgroup" rather than a
"Domain".
You still haven't said what you're actually trying to do. Joining a
domain doesn't actually "do" anything. Are you trying to access files or
printers on the Windows machines, for instance?
