Hmm, if you were lucky then telnet would not work in either direction :-)
Do you have a telnet server running on the Win2K machine? Does the
Win2K machine have a firewall up? Is there some sort of NAT between
them? Lot's of reasons why it wouldn't work.
I'd use SSH to talk between the machines unless the only network they
are ever on is a "null modem" cable one to the other...
