What didn't work with two different names?
And you didn't answer Joe's question about using different directories for the installation. If you used the same directories, I can see some potential for issues as you describe. If you used separate installation directories, then they are separate machines that share the same NIC. Which brings up another question: how is your IP address being handed out? If it's via DHCP, trying giving the Server a static ip address vs. DHCP that's different than your XP workstation.
Depending on that above information, if that doesn't help set you straight, then give us the error code you see that causes you to remove from the domain. Likely more related to DNS, but let's be thorough.
Else send you a bigger shovel :)

thank you guys

Hehe…. Let me know how that full-out testing of Vista and Aero Glass
is going for you in a VPC or a VMWare virtual machine.

That's what dedicated systems are for. :)
Sure, a VM is not the best option here, depending on what aspect of
the OS is being tested, but in that case, using a totally separate
hard drive or some other separation technology will still likely prove
to be more viable than dual-booting.
