joining windows 2003 server's domain using vista home premium

[windevox]

I have a desktop computer currently running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
edition act as server and a couple of desktop computer running windows SP for
my network. Recently I bought a wifi router and change all my wired LAN to
wireless LAN. All of the wireless connection works fine accept when I use my
notebook running windows vista home premium , was unable to join to the
domain at my windows 2003.
On my vista notebook, I try to goto the system properties but couldn't fine
the network setting button that says joining a domain (like the button on
windows XP).
there's only a button available to rename the computer.

my question is:
how to join to my domain using vista home premium 2003

Unless you have a copy of Vista Business or Ultimate, you cannot join a
domain based network.

Even Vista Home can't join the domain, but you should be able to access most
domain resource if you create the same domain username on it. This search
result may help.
