There's always VNC: http://www.realvnc.com/ That way Windows won't know
you're not sitting in front of it, and if you've got to access it from
across the country on a linux or BSD or MAC box, it still works.

VNC requires additional port to be opened.

I have no free opened ports in W2K server. Also In my XP client, all
incoming ports are closed.
