Thanks!!
If I understand your question correctly, you want to sit at an XP machine and do work on a 2000 machine.

Yes this can be done, I do it on a regular basis. All you need to do is install Terminal Services on the 2000 machine. Make sure you install it for administrative purposes so you don't have to worry about tons of licensing. Terminal Server gives you 2 administrative licenses for free.

Terminal Services is on the Windows 2000 CD. Install it by adding Windows Components.
