You must install networking before you can change this computers domain membership?

I managed to solve the problem.
The reason why both workgroup areas were greyed out was because i had disabled some services that had something to do with computer browser or something. I had also disabled that services dependencies which didnt help.

I also didnt have ms network client installed on my laptop which i installed so everything is now working fine.

thnx everyone,
