What is Windows 2000? The FTP server of client? If it
is the server, then a simple test:

binand@binand[~]:(2) nc windows-2000-ftp-server 21
220 windows-2000-ftp-server FTP server (Version wu-2.6.1-16) ready.
USER anonymous
331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.
PASS [EMAIL PROTECTED]
230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (10,0,2,43,16,150)

So, the server supports passive FTP.

If the server doesn't, there's not much you can do (for 2.2 kernels,
there's an ip_masq_ftp kernel module that works, for 2.4, I guess you
need some iptables rules).

If the client doesn't support passive FTP, get a better client.

IMO, one should always use passive FTP. I believe there were some issues
with active FTP (connection hijacking/redirecting/god knows what else)
some time ago, and that prompted them to add passive FTP to the protocol.
