    how to move my Vista PC from Workgroup to a domain

    I have got a Windows Vista computer that I want it to be a member of the active directory domain that I have just ceated on my second computer which is running on Windows Server 2003. Can anyone tell me how to change this Vista computer to domain from workgroup? When I checked in the network and sharing center then every options are telling me that am already connected to the internet? Any help would be appreciated.
