Ok my problem is that I have a windows 2000 domain setup
and have the xp computer setup in the active directory. I
also have several user accounts set up. The problem is
that although the computer is logged into the domain, when
a user goes to share a file (Right click -> Sharing and
Security -> Permissions) the sharing is looking locally
for user accounts. I know this because under Location: it
says my computers name. I try to enter domain\user but
the computer tells me to correct it. I try clicking
Browse.. in Location but my computer is the only thing
listed and not the active directory. Could it be because
I do not have a dns server set up?
Thanks.

Not sure what you mean about no DNS server setup.
The domain won't work very well without one.
Or do you mean no dns server setup in the client.
If that is the case, use the address of the w2k server running dns
