Basic answer: Install DNS and promote the 2003 server to a domain controller, then point the XP machine to your new DNS server and change its domain membership under system properties.

Real answer: Read up on how Active Directory works in 2003. Here's a good place to start: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc778179%28WS.10%29.aspx - Setting up a domain isn't a particularly simple task, but this should get you started.
