Don't use telnet for anything. No security.

Use ssh.

Install Cygwin on the Win2K desktop and set up the sshd to run as a service on the Win2K box. Then you can access the Win2K box by just entering the ssh command.

just use the terminal and type the command telnet 192.168.0.0

W2K workstation does not have a telnet server. You can install one but not really recommended. Realvnc is another suggestion.
