Configure Win2K as shown here:

ICS for Win2000 - Client Setup

It isn't strictly necessary, but file sharing will be a little easier
if you set its workgroup name to MSHOME to match XP's workgroup name.

I don't suppose this is much help since my win2k/win xp ics connection just
sort of worked but I can assure you it did work, the set up was almost
automatic and it continued to work with no hassle. Did you run netsetup on
the win2k machine? My xp was pro, yours?
