Better to go with tightVNC and tlntadmn on Windows 2000 Prof.
This is how you do it:
Download the TightVNC server and unzip the package to a directory say C:\tgtvnc
now run the below:
C:\tgtvnc> WinVNC -install --> which will install the service.
C:\tgtvnc>net start winvnc --> which will start the service.
Also open up the Start -> settings -> Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Services window and make sure "VNC Server" the "Startup Type" is Automatic so on reboot you winvnc starts up also.
Now for you back just in case winvnc fails on you and you need to start it up again.
For this we have the tlntadmn command to start you telnet server on Windows 2000.
As below:
C:\>tlntadmn
