Windows XP Domain?

Is there any way to use Windows XP and set up a domain over the network. I know there is a way on Windows Server 2003 but we do not have that kind of money!

Help!

Nope !! Windows xp is client only operating system ... you'll need atleast one server OS for domain ... Yes you can make a workgroup for xp systems.
