My brother had the same problem the other day. Turned out all he needed to
do was to go into the wireless properties and tick the box for share this
connection. He is using XP, 2000 may be different.

I don't think Win2000 comes with internet connection sharing (ICS) like XP
does. If that is indeed the case, you'll need to get a 3rd party program
to do this (most are free for 1 device)

Otherwise, do you have the NIC configured within Win2k? It'll need its
own valid settings to be able to talk to the XBox. This includes IP#,
gateway, and network mask.
