If you're using Windows (in this case 2000): 'Make a New Connection' in Network Places, choose 'Connect Directly to Another Computer' and follow the instructions.
You have to have the proper connection cable!
See help in Windows for troubleshooting.

Or buy Laplink or similar software if you do this a lot, again you need a specific cable type.
