I have an ftp download I want to schedule using Windows 2000 Scheduler but obviously I only want it to run if our net connection is up, otherwise it's ok if it's just skipped. Is there an easy way to program this in Windows?

One of the easiest ways I can think of is, make a batchfile. In the batchfile, first ping the ftp server, redirecting the ping output to a file, and examine the file.
An other easy way is, the ftp program just fails if it can not get a connection.
