Networking with XP Pro

On my Windows 98 machines, I have the network set up so
that when they boot, they come to the
username/password/domain logon box. I have a machine
that ran XP home on it, and now I wanted to upgrade it to
XP Pro - I did that with no difficulty, but now when I
try to make that logon box appear on the XP pro machine,
I don't get it - I get like the XP home screen, with the
users on the right hand side, and I can click on one of
them to open up that desktop.

How do I make my XP pro machine react to initial boot-up
to look like my old 98 machine did? Do I need to install
98 on this machine first, set it up the way I want, then
upgrade to XP Pro all over again?

Please advise,

once you have XP Pro installed go into the user manager
and under the advance tab click the box for 'secure logon'
or have the computer join a domain....
 
How do I make it join a domain? From within XP itself?
I should already be a user on my server... (NT 4.0)
