I have configured the server as a dns but my xp computer will not join it , I get this message A atemp to resolve the dns name of dc in the domain being joined has failed Please check if this client is configured to reach a dns server that can resolve dns names.

Certainly you can use server 2003 to set up a domain in your home.. If you want the 
domain name accessible from the internet then you need to talk to a domain registrar 
and you need a static IP address.

People spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to learn how to do this stuff. 
 You're not going to get any answers about how to setup and configure all the intricacies 
of a windows domain on this forum.  

You should be looking for on-line articles, or buy a book on the subject.  From your 
post I'm not sure you know the difference between a Domain Name Server, and a Domain 
Controller, or their functions.
