+You follow the normal procedure for joining a NT-class machine to the domain (ie, create machine accounts etc). However, before you try to join the XP machine to the domain, do the following:
# Open the Local Security Policy editor (Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy).
# Locate the entry "Domain member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel (always)". Disable it.
# Locate the entry "Domain member: Disable machine account password changes". Make sure it's disabled as well.

XP handles domain stuff differently to the previous OSs. Amongst other things, it always wants to synchronise offline files, which is a pain.
Also, be careful when you log in with a user who has 'admin user' with XP. Most likely it will try and create the profiles, which will be owned by root. XP will barf and complain. Works fine with NT4, though, don't know about 2k. So either chown stuff to the right user, or set up some stick permission thingies somewhere. Things should magically come right.

+If when joining the machine to the domain you receive the error "The RPC Server is Unavailable" try setting a static IP address on the XP machine then try joining again.
