XP creates and logs onto wrong Domain

We have a small business network, and one of our XP machines must be set up
wrong. Instead of logging onto the main network, it creates a new one
"MSHOME." I've tried to change the name through the Network setup Wizard,
but it always changes back! Any help much appreciated.

You mention a "wrong Domain" but seem to be talking about a workgroup. If
you're running a domain server, a network administrator needs to properly
join machine to the domain. If you really mean a workgroup - go to Ctrl
Panel./ System / Computer Name tab and click the Change button. Enter the
Workgroup name on the resulting screen. (The Network wizard isn't necessary
and defaults to MSHOME for the workgroup name.)
