Is the "Windows 2000" machine a W2K Server running Terminal Services?

If the answer is no then you either need to upgrade to XP Pro (on the W2K machine) or look at either
NetMeeting
Remote Desktop Sharing (RDS) or UltraVNC. Both can provide an encrypted data link to allow you to do
what you want.

NetMeeting in built-in to XP and W2K and can *NOT* be upgraded. To start NetMeeting on an XP
platform go to "Start -> Run" and type conf at the command line to start the wizard. Look at this KB
article for additional help...

Please note that RDS is *NOT* compatible with XP Pro Remote Desktop.

Get the UltraVNC server/client software and encryption plug-in from...
