My computer is in a local network sharing Internet DSL connection with other housemates. I am not the administrator. How can I tell if my computer is connected to a network domain or a workgroup? (I don't know what each means)

You never mentioned what Operating System you are using.
Vista
Right click my computer, select properties, Look in the field: Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings – it should say Workgroup or Domain
XP
Right click my computer, select properties, click the Computer Name tab, under full computer name it should say Domain: or Workgroup:
Well one easy way is too do the following.
Click Control panel->Network connections
on the left hand side click My Network Places
also on the left hand side click “View workgroup computers”
then under other places on the left click “Microsoft Windows Network”
this will list the categories of computers by default it puts you in workgroup or MShome
Go to my computer properties in that select computer name der it wil b written whether its a work group or aa domain
a work group is one are move computer in line sharing the same operating system or server – if you do not have administrator rights you could be a guest on some one account my guess network domain
