Are you using DNS or WINS as your method of listing these machines on the network?
Remember no machine will actually see the network (and likewise the server will not see the machine on its domain) until you have actually joined the domain.
Each PC must have its network settings changed from worgroup to Domain, then enter the domain name, it will then prompt for a windows account with permissions to create an account on the domain for the workstation. Once you have done all that - and providing your server is on the same IP subnet as your machines and you have all your other networking settings pretty much in line with each other you should be told that you have joined the domain. You neeed to do this for each machine in your workgroup.
