Windows XP to Win 2000 networking/Internet Sharing

[Guest]

i connected my notebook (XP) to a desktop (server) running Windows 2000. The first time around i got the network to run, although with a lot of difficulty..i ran windows update, after which the connection snapped..and haven't been able to get it back on the network since...then i uninstalled the hotfixes, and it is back on track...
i suspect it to be some kind of security update or something...

does anyone know about the problems associated with this type of networking (2000 server - XP client)..and what updates cause this problem?

thanks
