I'm sure that someone here knows what to do but it sounds like you need immediate help and maybe these people can get you there first. My friends at Netwerkin.com http://www.netwerkin.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?

Why do you need Windows 2000 for a LAN?
Never had any problems setting up a game LAN with XP.

xp and 2000 dont like to talk to each other with default settings, there probally is a way to get file sharing to work between them but its not nearly as easy as xp-xp ro 2k-2k(which is just setting up sharing for your drives)

you might need to install ipx/spx on the xp install, but i've not used xp in a while so i could be wrong

Getting LAN to work is not the issue at the moment getting her computer to boot XP again is.

But thanks for the info.
