Can't connect to Domain - On my computer using Windows 7 Home Premium

I have 2 Win 7 machines, 1 is ultimate, and second is premium. The ultimate machine is on my domain. The second (win 7 premium) has the "network id" and the domain radio button grayed out so I can't join it to my domain. I can't figure out how to fix it.

 

Windows 7 Home Premium.

Version 6.1.7600 Build 7600

Hi

Domain Toplogy is built around a Real server OS (like Windows 2008).

Windows 7 Ultimate/Pro/Ent can join a Domian as workstations.

Windows 7 Home versions can Not.
