Make sure this port is open. If you have router forward that port to your Windows 2000 PC.

I beleive there is some security setting in Control Panel that you need to turn on to get the remote tab to appear.

I know with Xp you go to communications under accessories and remote desktop is there. I haven't tried it on a 2K system.
